The live telecast of the Miss South Carolina Competition will move to Saturday night, August 1, instead of the original airdate of June 27, in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The date change was announced today by the Board of Directors for the Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization.

“The health and well-being of our candidates, their families, our competition volunteers and production team are what matter most during this unprecedented time. Crowning a new Miss South Carolina and Miss South Carolina Teen are traditions we will continue, but only when it is safe to do so,” said Erin Gambrell, Chairman of the Board for the Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization.

This news, of course, affects our Miss Newberry, Peyton Worley, and Miss Newberry Teen, Emma Connelly.
