Now that you have some background on the history of the competition let's talk about the 2017-2018 pageant. It was very crazy that I kinda figured who won the competition based off what I seen on social media and group me. During this campaign period you will see people friends and family repost the poster so we know to vote for them and also a preview of their platforms. In the video you can get a feel of what it looked like to attend one.
