Competition Categories
|
Evening Gown (1/3) - Required |
Wear a long
evening gown
of your choice. For ages 4-9, the only criteria is that
your gown has straps. Hemlines should be within 1/2 inch
of the floor (no one will be measuring, this is just a
guideline), and trains should be manageable and not impede the
contestant's walking or modeling pattern. Walking
pattern will be determined as we find out the facility setup,
and we will let you know in advance of the pageant what the
stage setup will be, along with entrance and exit points.
For ages 10-12, please stay away from tight gowns and high
slits. Judging criteria will be appropriateness of gown,
eye contact, smile, confidence, poise, personality and overall
impression. |
|
Interview (1/3) - Required |
Interviews will be
panel-style and 2.5 minutes in length. Contestants will
enter the room and sit in a chair across from the judges'
table. Questions will start based on information in your
bio/entry form and will proceed in a conversational fashion
based on responses to questions and how the interview unfolds.
The interview may steer towards topics that are not
necessarily on the bio/entry forms depending on responses.
This is not a test, we are looking for a natural personality
and conversation. Wear an outfit of your choice that you
feel represents your fashion style. This includes
interview suits, dresses, or pantsuits. Keep it simple
so as not to be distracting from your purpose of letting the
judges know the real you. There will be no political or
religious questions. Be yourself! Judging criteria
will be based on appropriateness of outfit, eye contact, smile,
confidence, verbal skills, content, natural personality, and overall
impression. Obviously, age will be taken into
consideration, especially for children, as we are looking for
natural, not overly coached children. |
|
Fun Fashion (1/3) - Required |
Let loose! Wear an
outfit of your choice and style, and work the stage in any
pattern that you wish. Keep the routine within 1-1.5
minutes so you don't "wear out your welcome." You might
wear a pantsuit, hi-low dress, jumpsuit with skirt or cape, or
high fashion runway type of outfit. Judging criteria will be appropriateness of
outfit, eye contact, smile, confidence, modeling ability,
personality, and overall impression. |
|
Introduction - Optional |
Contestants
will have 30 seconds to introduce themselves on stage.
Include your name, hometown, and something interesting
about yourself. Wear a business suit, church dress
or pantsuit (most people wear their interview outfit).
Judging will be based on eye contact, confidence,
speaking skills, appropriateness of outfit, content,
naturalness, and overall impression. |
|
Talent - Optional |
Perform a Vocal, Dance, Instrumental, Baton or other routine
of your choice. You may use
props that you can carry on and off stage by yourself.
There is a 2.5 minute time limit for each performance.
If using your own music, we will provide you with a link
to upload your music by a deadline of one week before
the pageant. Costumes should be age appropriate
and should not outshine the contestant. Revealing
outfits are not acceptable. Judging will be based
on skill level, showmanship, costume, confidence and
overall impression. |

best color headshot (half body is also acceptable).

personality, originality, and overall impression. |

very best high quality photos (select a variety of poses
