The Mr. Oak Harbor Scholarship Competition is a unique 6-week program for local high schoolers that provides an empowering experience through mentorship and coaching that focuses on important life skills and personal growth. It is NOT a "beauty pageant"; it's a scholarship program with a focus on community service. The competition is produced by Whidbey Royalty, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
Contestants must identify as male, be in grade 9, 10, 11, or 12, and live in or attend a school in the Oak Harbor School District.
There are two divisions: Mister Oak Harbor (Juniors & Seniors) and Teen Mister Oak Harbor (Freshmen & Sophomores). Contestants compete only against those in their division.
No experience is necessary! The Mr. Oak Harbor Scholarship Competition is designed for everyone. It is limited to 10 contestants in each division.
The Mr. Oak Harbor Scholarship Competition scoring system takes into account the whole person and incorporates 14 scoring categories, making this a competition for everyone which anyone can win!
Competition scoring includes 14 categories with variable weighting:
* Attendance (12%) * Personal Interview (8%) * Academics (5%)
* Board of Directors Input (11%) * Platform/Cause (7%) * Service (5%)
* Marketing (10%) * Formal Wear (7%) * Extra-curricular (5%)
* Video Journals (10%) * Stage Presence (5%) * Physical Fitness (5%)
* Speech or Talent (5%) * Work (5%)
Each contestant receives a Mr. Oak Harbor t-shirt and swag bag loaded with goodies. But more importantly, contestants receive coaching that will help them succeed not only in the competition but also in life: interview, marketing, stage presence, and mentorship.
The top three in each division will be named King, 1st Prince, and 2nd Prince and will receive a crown, stole, trophy, and scholarship. 3rd and 4th Runners-Up in each division will also receive scholarships.
Mr. Oak Harbor contestants are asked to stretch themselves during the competition, with the first assignment being to market themselves by asking for a business sponsor. These sponsorships help involve the community in the program by bringing a variety of businesses into the Whidbey Royalty “family.” They also help pay for competition expenses. Businesses that sponsor contestants are provided with many benefits that make the $300 sponsorship fee a very worthwhile investment.
The Mr. Oak Harbor Scholarship Competition will deliver thousands of dollars in scholarships as well as many other awards and recognition.
There are a number of ways to support your favorite contestant. Buy pageant or fundraising event tickets or fundraising items, and vote with your dollars in the People’s Choice competition.
People’s Choice is an optional competition within the Mr. Oak Harbor Scholarship Competition. As a fundraiser, this contest is completely separate from the competition point system and has no bearing on the outcome of the overall competition results. It does, however, provide an opportunity for the public to vote for their favorite contestant. The contestant with the most votes wins People’s Choice, receives a crown and stole, and takes home a college scholarship equivalent to half of all People’s Choice votes.
Applications are accepted August-September. Registration forms and additional information can be found on the CONTESTANT tab at WhidbeyRoyalty.org. Download the form, complete it, save it on your computer, then attach it in an email to WhidbeyRoyalty@gmail.com
Following pageant night, the newly crowned Mr. Oak Harbor Royalty will begin their reign as representatives of Oak Harbor and will begin serving their community in a variety of ways. They will choose a community service project to focus on during their reign and will raise awareness about that organization as well as raise funds to support it.
