Required Competitions

Each contestant will meet with the judges one one-on-one for a personal interview. Questions will not be confusing or difficult, but rather to get to know the contestant. Miss and Ms. contestants should be prepared for current event-type questions. You are not being judged on your opinion but on how you get your point across. Interview attire is expected but not judged.

All contestants will model an evening gown of their choice to demonstrate their poise & personality. All evening gowns should be floor length, age-appropriate, and flattering to the contestant. Make sure the gown fits well and is altered to the appropriate length. There are to be no slits or cutouts on any contestant younger than miss. For Miss and Ms. contestants, we ask that any cutouts or slits are kept modest.

Show off your style and have FUN on the runway! Outfits can be as fashionable and/or trendy or as subdued as the contestant wants. This competition is not only about the outfit appeal but more importantly, how the contestant wears it and shows their confidence and personality!

The contestant will deliver a 45-second personal introduction on stage in front of an audience and the overall panel of judges. Similar to an elevator pitch, introductions should include hobbies, interests, life ambitions, and the contestant’s name. The judges will be instructed to take notes during the introduction to help guide the questions during the interview.

All delegates are required to submit a total of 3 hours of community service to qualify for the National and International titles. Hours must be submitted on a simple log and submitted during pageant check-in.
