The Emery Rodeo Queen, Jr. Queen and Princesses were selected on Friday, July 19. The Queen and Jr. Queen Contestants were judged on appearance, modeling, speech, impromptu questions, interview, horsemanship and personality. The Princesses were also judged in these areas, with the exception of the impromptu question. The judges were Kortney Carlisle and Kylee Urie.
Two girls, Grace Kelly and Abree Allred, vied for the queen, Kinley Taylor and Brittney Hopes for the Jr. Queen and for the crown of the Princess were Payson Peterson, Isley Guymon, Taylee Allred and Chazlyn Hinkins.
