Jacksonville pageant competition that will take place on March 8, 2009.
Terrika learned of her acceptance into this year's competition as
Nationals, Inc. announced their selections on Monday afternoon. Terrika
submitted an application and took part in an interview session that was
conducted by Patty Neidert, this year's Jacksonville Pageant

dollars in prizes and specialty gifts that will be distributed to
contestants. Terrika will be competing in the Miss Jr. Teen division,
one of four divisions that will have young ladies between the ages of 7
and 19 competing in modeling routines which include casual wear and
formal wear. Most important, Terrika will display her personality and
interviewing skills while interviewing with this year's Jacksonville

is judged on during all phases of competition. If Terrika were to win
the title of Miss Jr. Teen Jacksonville, she would represent
Jacksonville and the surrounding communities at the Cities Of America

$60,000.00 in prizes and awards will be presented at the National
Competition while each winner enjoys this expense paid trip of five
nights and six days in Orlando, Florida. There is no cost to Terrika for
participating in the pageant competition. Community businesses,
organizations, and private individuals will assist Terrika in
participating in this year's competition by becoming an official
sponsor.
