It is our distinct honor and pleasure to announce the new Pageantry partnership with the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Program. As the leading magazine for over 30 years in the beauty and modeling industry, Pageantry continues to leverage the strength of its brand in forming alliances beneficial to the industry as a whole.

With the introduction of the newest brand to the Pageantry family, the Pageantry and PromTime Online Fashion Boutique, the corporation has joined forces with the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Organization in providing much needed scholarship money to deserving young women. As producers of the world's largest on-site photo shoot for both Pageant gowns and Prom dresses, Pageantry is donating a percentage of each sale to the Miss America's Outstanding Teen scholarship fund. In producing the largest fashion showcase in the industry the past 19 years, Pageantry is again leading the industry in promoting not only its fashion and boutique partners, but also addressing the necessity of helping positive programs such as Miss America's Outstanding Teen.

As well as donating a percentage of the sales from the Pageantry and PromTime Online Fashion Boutique, Pageantry has additionally formed alliances with several boutiques across the country to fulfill the necessary shipments. This has provided a win-win opportunity for all industry partners; Pageantry and PromTime, its fashion design partners, fashion boutiques, as well as the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Program.
Pageantry would like to thank their current fashion partners for allowing them the opportunity to continue producing the world's largest fashion showcase as well in supporting our efforts to effectively help deserving young women through the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Program in these challenging economic times.
