Contestants were judged in three categories. These categories were on-stage interview, evening gown, and appearance in a movie character costume.

She portrayed the grape stomping scene from “Grapes of Laugh” and walked barefoot on stage carrying a vat of grapes.

UV&S President Lee Spence stated that “this contest was intended as a nostalgic tribute to a 1961 event held by Underground Vaults and Storage. At that time, the National Press Photographers Association brought along their beauty contestants to tour our facility. The beauties posed for the first ever wire service photograph transmitted from underground.”
