Seventeen Magazine Names Shannon McIntosh A Finalist In Real Girl Cover Contest
Seventeen, the iconic fashion and beauty magazine for 13 million teen girls, today announced that race car driver Shannon McIntosh of Miamisburg, OH is one of five finalists in the magazine's "Pretty Amazing" real girl cover contest. McIntosh, 21, and four other finalists will travel to Seventeen's headquarters in New York City this summer for a makeover, photo shoot, and a party with celebrity Miranda Cosgrove.
"This is surreal," said McIntosh. "I can't thank Seventeen Magazine, editor Ann Shoket and Neutrogena enough for giving me this amazing opportunity! The fact that I am one of five out of the 35,000 entires blows my mind. This will be a great outlet to share my story about why and how you can do anything you put your mind to with hard work and dedication! Just like in racing, I'm in this to win."
Seventeen editors were flooded with more than 35,000 entries from girls across the country, all hoping for the chance to be a Seventeen cover girl following the likes of Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Selena Gomez. The contest, sponsored by Neutrogena®, was a call to action asking girls: Are you passionate, creative or mega-talented? Do you see change that needs to be made in the world and know that you have the power to make that change? Have you done something awesome that you want everyone to know about?
Shannon McIntosh's entry stood out from the tens of thousands of entries received. With over 100 race wins in a male-dominated sport, Shannon won't take her foot off the gas until she becomes the first female to win the Indy 500. She has been racing cars since the age of five with her family and now competes in the INDYCAR USF2000 Series while working her way up to compete in the Indy 500. She is the only female driver in her series and she is the only American female who is trying to climb this ladder.
In June, the five "Pretty Amazing" finalists will travel to New York City to meet with contest judges Ann Shoket, Seventeen Editor-in-Chief, actress, recording artist and Neutrogena® Brand Ambassador Miranda Cosgrove and Just Jared's Jared Eng. They will receive makeovers at a top salon, participate in the cover photo shoot and attend a luncheon with Miranda Cosgrove.
In addition to appearing on an October 2011 Seventeen cover, Neutrogena® will award the winner a $10,000 scholarship and an all-expense paid trip to New York City.
Similar to Shannon McIntosh, the other "Pretty Amazing" finalists all have amazing personal stories to tell and have major accomplishments under their belt. These other Pretty Amazing finalists are:
1) Nina Montgomery - 19 - Ridgewood, NJ
2) Ann He - 16 - Dallas, TX
3) Zoe Damacela - 19 - Chicago, IL
