The Miss Canal Winchester Scholarship Pageant is a long-running tradition in the City of Canal Winchester that provides scholarship opportunities to students in the Canal Winchester School District. Pageant contestants are divided between four age groups, with each contestant judged on poise, stage presence, public speaking ability, and leadership skills. Participants model formal attire and contestants in grades 6 through 12 will also model sportswear.  Contestants in grades 6 through 12 are scored on an interview with pageant judges and contestants in grades 9 through 12 also submit an essay and reference letters.
