Titleholders are encouraged and expected to attend functions as "Royalty"
from time to time, as schedules permit. We have numerous
activities to
take part in. All Titleholders are free to join
us whenever possible! Titleholders are expected to
return the following year and
help coronate new Titleholders. Additionally, Contestants who do not win Titles may
request or be asked to appear as Ambassadors.
In
the Kids'
Pageant Portion,
"Littler" Contestants
go onstage and we "crown" them first, so that they
can leave the event after professional group
photos have been taken.
A
chaperone
for Contestants 35 months and under must
remain with child at all
times. including
onstage.
Our concern here
is for your child's safety while they're having fun!

will be available. We will have a place for you to keep your
Pageant attire during your participation. *Please
note: Pageant staff is not responsible for the safety of your
belongings.
*We advise arriving EXACTLY 1 hour before your Pageant start
time to check
in, pick up your Contestant Number, etc. Arrive in Pageant
attire, “basically ready”, so that you don’t have to compete
too much for time and space to get ready with the other Contestants.
About
a week before the event, more information will be posted here AND
sent to you via email about exact itinerary and times, etc.
Please check back here for more information!
Should I Go “Natural” Or “Glitz”?
This question pertains mostly to younger Contestants.
The answer is the same as above – Anything goes!
Wear what you like! The
Judges we have assembled come from a variety of Pageant and other
backgrounds. They know that some contestants will be very “glitzy” and
some will be “natural”, and that many will be first-timers.
They will judge each Contestant accordingly - each on their
own merit, based on how that Contestant appears/how they carry
themselves. There is
no one certain “look” the Judges are looking for.
*This is your time to shine and to look how you want to
look!
Photogenic Pictures
Pictures submitted for Photogenic, Portfolio and
Composite competitions will be available to be picked up half an
hour after the Pageant ends, if not sooner.
Photographs And Video
*Please
Note:
No cameras or video allowed in the ballroom. The only approved event photos
will be taken

*Anyone taking photos, (even by cell phone), will be
