Alas, I fear this contest has been discontinued.

Teeny Miss Grits Ava Dean, 2, (L) and Miss Grits Lindsay Dobbs, 16, participate in the parade during the 14th annual National Grits Festival in Warwick, Georgia USA on 09 April 2011.

The Misses Grits in the photos were part of the National Grits Festival in Warwick, Georgia, while the Atlanta Journal article is about the World Grits Festival in St. George, South Carolina, which apparently had its own Miss Grits. That seems to mean there were two different Miss Grits contests.

I´d rather have a Miss re-fried beans.
