Jaylyn Lindley crowned Miss Provo; Al Miller named Miss Liberty Bell

Jaylyn Lindley was crowned Miss Provo and Al Miller was named Miss Liberty Bell during the Miss Provo scholarship pageant at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo. Auditors tabulated separate phase scores from private interviews and onstage competitions to determine the winners. The titles carry responsibilities including representing Provo at the Miss Utah competition and attending local parades, ribbon cuttings and city events. Organizers said judges scored contestants across five phases: private interview (30 percent), onstage conversation (10 percent), health and fitness (20 percent), talent (20 percent) and evening gown (20 percent); judges discard the high and low scores in each phase. Contestants were evaluated by a five-member judging panel listed in the program. The pageant committee’s auditor handled score tabulation; staff and volunteers announced winners after scores were finalized. Organizers asked guests to wait until official photographs were taken before coming on stage. The pageant organizers thanked volunteers, sponsors and the Covey Center staff for supporting the scholarship program. Outgoing titleholders and other program alumni offered farewell remarks earlier in the evening, and the new titleholders were introduced to the audience near the close of the event. The titles were announced from the stage; the committee did not record a roll-call or public vote as part of the final selection. No formal election or municipal action was part of the process: the results reflect the pageant’s scoring and auditor verification.
