After more than a decade, the Miss University of South Alabama pageant is back and better than ever.
The event, held at the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening, marked the return of a beloved tradition that had been on pause for 13 years.
The excitement filled the air as students, faculty, and supporters gathered to witness history in the making.
Crowning a New Queen
The crown for the first Miss University of South Alabama in over a decade went to Maleigha Lewis, who emerged victorious after competing against six other delegates.
The competition was intense, with contestants showing off their skills in a variety of categories including private interviews, health and fitness, evening gown, and an onstage question session.
With her poise and confidence, Lewis earned not only the title but also a $5,000 scholarship and an additional award for her stunning performance in the evening gown category.
