Ms. Wheelchair Arizona Pageants and Programs
MWAZP Disability Educational Programs






Our Mission
To Promote disability awareness and education
through pageants, sponsored affiliate programs
and public speaking for the advancement of people
with all types of disabilities.
Ms. Wheelchair Arizona Pageants offers a powerful combination of disability
educational speakers by acquiring them through a program that exceeds the
normal operational parameters that govern how a wheelchair pageant is
presented.  Although each contestant is interviewed, Ms. Wheelchair Arizona
Pageant's Judges only ask and score on disability related questions during
the off and on stage round of questioning as well as a disability platform
speech that includes public educational and implemental strategies.
All MWAZP contestants are beautiful and beyond ordinary
MWAZP Contestants Are By No Means Ordinary
They will leave you inspired with their accomplishments,
poise and confidence in their belief system that promotes
breaking down barriers that segregate the disabled from
the abled bodied. Their dreams for the future along with experiences from
the past makes them beautiful, articulate and knowledgeable in a field where
representatives are needed to educate the community regarding disability
related issues. They prove to themselves and everyone around them on a
daily basis that they are not going to let their disabilities define who they   
are. They are strong, adventurous, fun loving, talented women of
achievement.
