Hello, Officer  

A literature festival looking to attract more attendees. A cosmetics company hoping to revive its brand.

The two come together to host a festival beauty pageant, giving young women the chance to further their careers and education and bringing publicity to all involved.

But not everyone is on board. Some think a pageant demeans the city's literary status. Others say the sponsor company is guilty of unethical business practices.

Still … what could go wrong?
