    ANTSO was my first pageant and it was an amazing experience. ANTSO honors the girl as a whole- her heart, mind and spirit. I love that ANTSO is a scholarship program that focuses on academics, community service and personal interview. It was the perfect fit for me and although I won a national title, I will certainly be back in the coming years. I love the whole experience,-the fun, the sisterhood and the travel. I highly recommend ANTSO, whether it is you are a seasoned pageant girl or if it is Show more

    If you are looking for a system that places value on academics and service, then this is the place for you! We've done the national pageant twice and had a amazing esperience both times. The pageant is well-run, organized, and professional. Their focus is on helping the girls be the best they can be and building self-esteem.
