The 2026 Miss Riverfest Pageant is still less than a week away, but audience participation begins today (Tuesday) with the start of online voting for Miss Photogenic.

This is the 23rd year residents from the Windom area, as well as across the country, will be able to vote for Miss Photogenic.

Six contestants who are completing their junior year at Windom Area High School are vying for this year’s title. They are:

•  Addison Evans
•  Addison Spielman
•  Jesselle Sosa
•  Jocelyn Frank
•  Macee Duerksen
•  Sadie Tjetland

In addition, a Little Miss Riverfest, for girls completing their second grade year, will be crowned as part of the pageant.

After an email box pops up with the contestant’s name in the subject line, simply click “send” and you have voted.

You may vote only once per email address per candidate. Any additional emails for the same candidate from the same address will be discarded.

Through online voting, the six contestants’ friends and family, who are scattered across the country, can play a part in the pageant even though they will be unable to attend.

Online voting for the pageant ends at 5 p.m., Friday, June 4.
