Contestants are judged in four areas of Competition:
Personal Introduction
Your onstage introduction is the best way to connect with the judges and engage with your
audience. You are simply introducing yourself and giving the judges a glimpse at your poise,
articulation, and confidence.
Swimsuit
Attention is focused on beauty of face, figure, physical fitness, and the confidence with which
each contestant carries herself. Numerical measurements are not considered in the judging.
Evening Gown
Each delegate wears a full length formal gown she has chosen for herself. Attention is focused
on each contestant’s overall appearance, self-confidence, sense of style and the beauty she
brings to the gown of her choice.
Personal Interview
Pageant interview is truly your opportunity to shine. The judges will likely learn more about who
you are during this one interview than they will in any other part of the competition. During
pageant interview, you have the opportunity to interact and speak individually with your judges
face-to-face and tell them who you are and why you are the right choice for the title.
Optional Title Categories of Competition:
Talent
The talent portion of a pageant gives you a unique opportunity to express yourself in a way not
found in any other portion of competition. It allows you to showcase what skills you have to
entertain an audience. Some ideas for a talent selection are a dance, vocal musical
performance, instrumental musical performance, spoken word, dramatic skit, etc.
Cover Girl
Submit one to three photos to enter this competition. The photos (poses, outfits, make-up, and
scenery) should be age appropriate. Photos should not be larger than 8.5″ X 11″. Photos are
