The Miss Union County Fair Queen Pageant is held annually on the first Sunday night of the fair. Contestants compete for cash and prizes, including a Union County Fair Board sponsored trip to Springfield for the opportunity to compete with 70+ other county fair queens for the title of Miss Illinois County Fair. Each contestant will be judged in interview, speech, swimsuit, evening gown, and an on-stage question.

 

Contestants must be:

• Between the ages of 16 and 21 and have not reached her 22nd birthday by January 1st of next year.

• Contestants must be a resident of Union County or a resident of Jackson, Johnson, Pulaski, Alexander or Massac County(Miss division ONLY). Additional counties added  do NOT have a county fair queen pageant. If any of the added counties add a fair queen pageant to their fair, those counties will no longer be eligible to compete in the Miss Union County Fair Queen Pageant.

• She may not be competing or have competed in another county fair pageant in the current year and cannot be a former queen of another county fair.

• Have never been married, have never had a child and cannot be an adoptive parent.
