2020 Days of ’47 Royalty Pageant -POSTPONED

Attention: Due to the coronavirus, this year’s pageant has been postponed. We will still crown a royalty this year, but at a later date to be determined.

*****

This year’s theme, “Pioneer Spirit: Alive Today!” will be exemplified in the young women who participate in The Days of ’47 Scholarship Royalty Pageant for 2020. These contestants, descendants of pioneers who arrived in the valley between 1847 and 1869, are the foundation for the future. They represent the high standards of modern-day pioneers with a love of their pioneer heritage and a vision of the difference young women can make in the world. The pageant will be held April 10th and 11th at the Bountiful Regional Center in North Salt Lake.

The Annie Taylor Hyde Award will also be presented to a young woman (chosen by her peers) for her consideration of others, congeniality, and modesty, among other traits. Scholarship amounts from $500 to $3,000 will be awarded to the Royalty and the Annie Taylor Hyde award recipient.

The pageant is produced by International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers. All the young women who will be competing have graduated from high school and are between the ages of 18 and 25.  The chosen royalty will ride in The Days of ’47 Parade, will be in attendance at many functions (such as The Days of ’47 Rodeo), and will speak at numerous gatherings and events during their reign.  They will be role models to all young women who hear their message as they represent the State of Utah, The Days of ’47, Inc. and Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
