Distinguished Young Woman Program

Distinguished Young Woman is a scholarship program for girls currently in 11th grade.  It gives them an opportunity to learn new skills, meet other distinguished young women, and improve their poise and communication skills.  The young women were judged in 5 categories:
 Talent, Fitness, Self Expression, Scholarship & Interview

The young women competed in Talent
Lindsay played Jar of Hearts on the piano

Fitness
They performed a fitness routine for the judges as a group with an individual spotlight section for each contestant

Self Expression
 They were asked a question by the judges during the program and had 45 seconds to respond.  These 3 categories were done and judged on the spot that evening.

Scholarship was judged previously with each of the young women submitting their ACT scores, grades, and class schedules - so judges could calibrate a scholarship score for each of them.

Interview was done the afternoon of the program with each young women having a 15 minute 1-on-1 interview with the judging panel.
