Belmont Shore community activist Justin Rudd is seeking contestants for his upcoming Miss Long Beach pageant.
The contests, which are sponsored by Rudd's Community Action Team, or CAT, and Choura Venue Services, will take place Nov. 15 at The Grand in Long Beach.
There will be "Long Beach" and "So. Cal." titles awarded in four divisions: Little Miss (first- and second-grades), Teen (14 to 18), Miss (19 to 29), and Mrs. (21+).
For Teen, Miss and Mrs., there will be swimsuit and evening gown competitions and interviews. There is no talent competition.
At least $6,500 in appearance contracts will be awarded, according to Rudd.
Contests fees are $25 for Little Miss and $100 for the other categories through Nov. 1; fees double after that. Additionally, each contestant is required to sell at least $100 in tickets by at least one week before the pageant.
