Please enter based on your age the day of the pageant.

Contestants may choose to advance up to the next age division.

While unlikely, divisions may be added, combined or split

depending on number of contestants entered. If any age group

has less than 4 contestants entered, those contestants will be moved

to the closest age bracket based on their date of birth.

​

SCORING CRITERIA

​

40%- PRIVATE INTERVIEW: Ability to communicate effectively in interview. Questions will be personality driven. Please wear a nice dress or outfit that reflects your age and personality. No glitzy cocktail, formal or casual attire, please. Time is 2 minutes. Click here for additional sample questions. 

​

10%- COMMUNITY SERVICE

Each contestant is expected to complete a community service project before the pageant. You are allowed to use a recent project that you have already done. Examples are community clean up, food drive, nursing home visits, just to name a few. This will be accounted for on your personal bio sheet and is pass/fail. The purpose of this is to encourage contestants to be servant minded. Simply stated, if you do a project you earn 10 points, if you do not, you earn no points. No partial scores are given for the community service expectation.

 

10%- ON STAGE INTRODUCTION

Contestants will deliver a personal introduction to include their name, hometown and one fun fact. Please keep intro time to a maximum of 20 seconds. This will be done as the show opener. Opening number attire is the event tee provided with denim jeans. More details on this in the contestant packet. 

​

40%- EVENING GOWN: The judges will not be scoring the dress itself but will be looking for a complimentary color, style, and fit for the contestant. Contestants will be expected to follow the provided walking pattern but may model as they like at each X.
