~ Ms. Wheelchair Kansas and Little Miss Wheelchair Kansas Seeking Contestants for 2024 ~
It's that time again! Ms. Wheelchair Kansas, Inc. is currently searching for women of achievement, who are wheelchair mobile, to serve as contestants in the 19th Annual Ms. Wheelchair Kansas (MWKS) event. Contestants can be nominated by a person or group or can choose to participate in the program. Organizations and companies are being encouraged to nominate women who are passionate, dynamic, articulate, and who have a message to share throughout the state.
MWKS is also seeking nominations for the Little Miss Wheelchair Kansas program that celebrates young spirited girls, ages 5-12, who are wheelchair mobile.
The 2024 event will take place on March 22-24 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Lawrence. Pre-nominations for Ms. Wheelchair Kansas must be sent in by December 9, 2023. MWKS contestant application packets must be postmarked by January 7, 2024.
This program is NOT a beauty contest, but rather a competition to select the most articulate, accomplished delegate to serve as a role model and spokesperson for people with disabilities in Kansas.
If you know of a woman who would be a fantastic representative and role model in our state, or if you yourself would like to participate as a contestant, then please fill out the nomination form or contestant application today!
A new Little Miss Wheelchair Kansas will also be selected this year from a pool of contestants. This program recognizes young girls, ages 5-12, who are wheelchair mobile, dynamic, spirited, positive, and who have something to say to the people in our state. The chosen Little Miss works alongside Ms. Wheelchair Kansas to empower and educate people of all ages and serves as a role model to her peers. Little Miss Wheelchair contestants must be nominated with permission from the contestant's parent/guardian. Nominations are due by January 7, 2024. Nomination forms and more information can be found at http://www.mswheelchairkansas.org/become-a-miss-contestant.
Feel free to forward this information onto eligible women and young girls, as well as send it out to any of your list serves.
