We're looking for the fiercest person to crown for the Miss Loose Ends Pageant which takes place at the pool on Sunday, June 21 at 4pm.
If you'd like to enter, bring 2 different looks - one for your entrance look and one for the finals.
The pageant will include an entrance walk followed by a Q&A. The judges will then select the top 3 finalists. The top 3 finalists will have 15 minutes to change into a final look and will have one last chance to impress the judges or pull a stunt.
You can sign up for the Miss Loose Ends pageant at the front desk of the Dunes when you arrive.
