Rotterdam resident named first Miss NYC | Events

Brittany Jasenski, a 22-year-old Rotterdam resident, has been crowned the very first Miss New York City. 

In winning the Miss New York City 2011 crown, Jasenski won a gift and prize package which includes paid entry into the upcoming Miss New York USA Pageant, a one-year modeling contract, a trip to Las Vegas to watch the Miss USA Pageant in June, as well as other various prizes and sponsorships. She will also have opportunities to make personal appearances throughout the year promoting her title at various New York City events and ceremonies. 

“To be named Miss New York City 2011 is such a prestigious honor, and to be the first, that’s just unreal,” stated Brittany Jasenski in a prepared statement, who this past November finished first runner up at the 2011 Miss New York USA in Albany.  “There’s so much hard work and preparation that goes into competing in a pageant such as this, this is so very rewarding.  I look forward to representing New York City the best I can, it’s going to be lots of fun!”     

Kylie Jasenski, 16, the younger sister of Brittany, competed in the Miss New York City Teen 2011 pageant and won the title of Miss Photogenic, as well as the Style Award.  For these awards Kylie was presented with an official plaque and crown pin. 

The inaugural Miss New York City Pageant was held this past weekend, February 5- 6, in Manhattan at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre, and is unofficially being considered a preliminary pageant to the Miss New York USA Pageant.  The members of the judging panel search for the young woman that demonstrates intelligence, beauty, poise, confidence, enthusiasm, and communication skills.
