In addition to winning the queen's leather sash, crown and an entry into the fair's historical record, the women are competing for various scholarships, a chance to serve as an ambassador throughout the fair's run and to be recognized at events throughout the county until next year's fair.

The Fort Bend County Fair Queen Scholarship Contest is based on ticket sales, a judged interview, style show performance and participation.

Beginning Aug. 1, fair queen candidates will begin selling tickets online directly to the public. For more information, contact the fair office at 281-342-6171 or visit www.fortbendcountyfair.com.
