PAGEANT DATES
REMEMBER: All our pageants are 100% mail-in competitions.
You never have to travel to a pageant!

Local pageants are held between January 1st and August 15th.
Our first winners of the year are announced Jan. 1st.
We hold competitions twice a month, on the 15th & 30th.
If your entry is received between the 1st & 15th of the month,
your pageant date will be the 15th of the following month.
If your entry is received between the 16th & the end of the month,
your pageant date will be the 30th of the following month.
If your city's pageant has already been held before we receive your entry, we will put you down for your second choice city.
When we receive your entry you will be notified of the date of your competition.
You may contact us if you want to know if your city's pageant has been held yet this year.

State pageants are usually held in September
(you must win a local title to be eligible for the state pageant).
The National pageant is in November

JUDGING
Each competition is judged by three judges of various ages and backgrounds. There is not one particular thing the judges are looking for, just the overall impression they get from your entry. The judging is especially lenient in the optional competitions, so be creative. You will receive copies of your scores, as well as any comments from the judges, so that you can see how you did. If you do not wish to see your scores, please let us know.
Judges decisions are final.
You will have the opportunity to make any changes you wish to your entry before each level of competition.

Each winner may do as she wishes with her title. She may appear in the local media, be in parades, make personal appearances, or do anything else she wishes as long as she does so with pride and respect for her title. We encourage everyone to make the most of their reign, but we do not require any appearances.
