FLORENCE – One lucky student at the University of North Alabama will earn the prestigious title of Miss UNA this weekend. The annual Miss UNA competition will take place Saturday, Jan. 26, in Norton Auditorium.
The theme for this year’s competition is Miss UNA Dancing Queens, and will feature special guest and Mistress of Ceremonies, Miss Alabama 2019, Callie Walker.
Reigning Miss UNA, Haley Gilbertson, said she has had the most memorable year as Miss UNA.
“This has been the best year of my life, truly,” said Gilbertson, who will crown one of ten young women competing Saturday night. “Although it’s a bit sad to let go of something that brings me so much happiness and fulfillment, I can’t wait to watch another woman’s life be completely changed through this position.”
This is a preliminary competition for the Miss Alabama Scholarship Pageant. The newly crowned Miss UNA will go on to represent UNA at Miss Alabama 2019 in June.
Tickets are $9.99 online at www.una.edu/missuna or $10 at the door. UNA students can use their mane card to pick up a free ticket from the Student Engagement Office located in the GUC.
Doors will open at 4:00 p.m., the pageant will start at 5:00 p.m.
