List compiled by the National League of Junior Cotillions.

After countless smiles through interviews, polite answers and little curtsies at the end of her performances, Jackie Evacho finds herself — to no one's great surprise — on a list of "Ten Best-Mannered People of 2011."

The 11-year-old singer from Richland Township came in seventh place for "demonstrating humility and politeness as a young performer," according to a Newswire.com press release announcing the list.

The annual list is compiled by the National League of Junior Cotillions. The major criteria is that the individual has been "an outstanding role model of good manners and exemplary behavior during the current year," according to the league's website.
