STAGE FORMATION

Exit 3 2 1 Enter

No other pageant selects its young royalty like we do. It is our desire to have royalty who are naturally pretty/handsome and have good personalities. NO PAGEANT WEAR, NO SUNDAY DRESS, NOR MODELING ABILITY IS NEEDED IN OUR 0-11 DIVISIONS.

Girls in 0-11 divisions and boys in 0-5 divisions will wear CASUAL WEAR ONLY!!! (Something they would wear to the festival grounds such as: short sets, rompers, sundresses, denim or cotton outfits.) Appropriate hairstyles for girls are pony tails, braids or other simple and casual styles. "Big Pageant" hairstyles ARE NOT appropriate in our 0-11 year old divisions.

These young contestants will be judged on facial beauty, personality (not modeling) and overall appearance. Make-up, if worn at all in 0-11 divisions, should be light and used ONLY to enhance beauty. Contestants are not required to do any modeling. While there will be "X's" on the floor; contestants do not have to use them. Very upbeat children's music will be played in our 0-11 divisions competition.

POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FOR "BIG PAGEANT" HAIR, PAGEANT WEAR, SUNDAY DRESS OUTFITS & EXCESSIVE MAKE-UP.

There will be a "Hair, Make-Up and Outfit" judge for our 0-11 year old divisions that will judge each contestant and if they feel Hair, Make-Up, or Outfit is inappropriate a deduction of 5 points will be taken from the overall score.

In our 12-17 year old divisions, contestants DO NOT compete in casual wear. They may wear Sunday dresses or pageant wear. Dress may be long or tea-length. Dresses should not expose mid-drifts. Dresses, hairstyles, and make-up should be age appropriate.

In our 15-17 year old division, each contestant will introduce themselves on stage. They must state their name, age, and where they are from. Other things may be stated, but it is not required.

IMPORTANT PAGEANT INFORMATION
