Miss Arkansas and Arkansas' Teen 2025 - Day 1

The Miss Arkansas and Miss Arkansas' Teen 2025 contestants arrived in Little Rock on Saturday, June 7th! To kick of the week's festivities, the initiating Arrival Ceremony, located at the beautiful Arkansas State Capitol, took place at 2:00 PM. The attending guests were introduced to each of the fabulous contestants as they walked the rotunda in their classy, yet fashionable attire. 

In addition to the introduction of contestants, the winners of the Marketplace Interview Scholarships were announced. The Miss Contestants participated in these interviews back in April, following Spring Meeting. The contestants were grouped by their career focus, and their interviews were designed to simulate a real-life job interview.

Miss Johnson County, Graceanne Morgan, received a $2500 scholarship and was named the winner of the Fine Arts category.
