English term

running for homecoming queen

English to Arabic Other Media / Multimedia
Full sentence is: "she's running against you for homecoming queen?"; speaker is in high school and is trying to get voted in as queen in this nearing homecoming party, and I'm trying to come up with a natural sounding translation.

تنافس على لقب ملكة حفل تجمع قدامى الخريحين

Other suggestions for Homecoming can be:
- حفل التقاء قدامى الخريجين
- حفل لم شمل الخريجين

It's worth mentioning that a homecoming party can be attended by some or all of the current students, as this might be the case in your context.
Note from asker:
Perfect, thanks! Didn't think of using "تنافسك" instead of "ترشحت ضدك", leading to translations such as: - ترشحت ضدك لمنصب ملكة حفل عودة الخريجين Which sounded very awkward.
