Dear Contestants and Family,
You have qualified for the 2011
National Finals. By being a
winner or runner-up at your
state pageant in beauty,
photogenic, best fashion or any
optional event, you have won
your $400.00 beauty entry fee
paid to the national finals.
Remember, you did not have to
be a winner in your state final
in order to compete at the
national level. We have had
many national winners that
didn’t even place in their home
state pageant.
We are now celebrating 27 years
as “The People’s Choice of
Pageants™”. This past year, we
have traveled many miles along
with our state directors and
have met many wonderful people
and made many new friends. We
would like to thank you for
another very rewarding year!
At
the National Finals, we
use a large number of qualified
judges.
The judges will not be informed
of how you placed in a previous
pageant.
All contestants start out on
equal ground in this pageant.
There will be a new set of
judges from the set that judged
your child in the previous state
pageant. This could be your
chance to win many GREAT
PRIZES including a $10,000.00 or
$5,000.00 Savings Bond
and have the VACATION OF A
LIFETIME. The many
optional events means, there is
something for everyone.
We
have tried to keep our paperwork
simple, but
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
or you do not understand
something or you need help
getting prepared, CALL
US at one of the above
numbers.
DO
NOT TAKE SECOND HAND
INFORMATION.
If
you are trying to decide which
national pageant to attend this
Summer, we hope you choose our
system. We have been around for
27 years and award all prizes on
stage. Our pageant is very “family
oriented” and we believe
family is first priority. Make this your family
vacation. We’re looking forward
to seeing you and your family at
the 2011 National Finals.
Lora
and Mike Cameron, National
Directors

3.
Can I win beauty and overall?
If you win the grand supreme,

cannot win all four. We will
not double crown the highest
level of competition, but you
can win any of the optionals in
addition to the above awards.

and you have a better chance of
winning a supreme title.

It really doesn’t matter as long
as it is a good facial shot.
Both have won.

beauty, personality and overall
appearance. Most beautiful or

girls, it should be very light
and undetectable from the judges
table. Powder, a touch of
blush, clear lip gloss and clear
mascara would be appropriate.
EASY ON THE MAKEUP FOR ALL
AGES! If you choose to use a
hairpiece, in any age group, it
must look natural and blend with
your own hair or deductions will
be taken. Judges should not be
able to tell it’s a hairpiece.
15.
What color is best?
Your choice, go with what looks
best on your child.
16. Do we bring our own music?
You can provide your own music
for OUTFIT of CHOICE and RED
WHITE & BLUE WEAR. We will
provide the music for all other
events. Due to so many CD’s
being burned in various formats
that are not compatible with the
sound equipment (meaning they
won’t play), we highly recommend
you choose your music for these
events from the list of national
music that is posted on our
website. If you do bring your
own music, it MUST be an AUDIO
file burned to a CD ONLY.
Otherwise it will not play in
the sound equipment. In the
event your CD will not play when
you get on stage, the music tech
will play the most appropriate
song available for your type of
outfit.
17.
How long do we get on stage?
1 minute for all events. You
will be timed.
18.
What happens if we are late or
go over time?
You will be deducted points.
19.
What about props?
Props are not necessary but are
allowed in super model events
only. They can be hand held or
free standing and you must be
able to get them on and off the
stage quickly and easily. Props
should be used only if they
enhance the outfit and/or
routine. No umbrellas, hats,
gloves, purses or canes in
Beauty, please! No Props in
Casualwear.
20.
Long or Short dress?
Your choice. Most 6 and under
age groups wear short dresses,
the 7-9 group usually has some
short and some long, the 10 &
older groups usually wear long
dresses. You will not be
counted off whichever you
choose.
21. Do you have line-ups?
We do not have line-ups because
we do not want you compared to
the child next to you. We would
rather judge you on an
individual basis.
22.
Should I use a hair dresser or
makeup artist?
This is your choice. If you are
comfortable doing your child’s
hair and make-up you are
encouraged to do it. If it
makes you or your child nervous
and stressed out, you may want
to consider using a hairdresser
/ makeup artist. This is
strictly a personal choice, it
makes no difference to us.
23.
What happens if someone is not
following the rules?
Go directly to the national
director and the problem will be
solved.
24.
Can I choose a number?
You may REQUEST a number if you
send in your form before the
deadline of June 1, 2010.
Number requests will be granted
on a first come first serve
basis.
25.
What is the difference between
fashion and formalwear?
Fashion is the prettiest dress
or best looking tuxedo, whereas
formalwear is judged mainly on
the poise and presentation of
the attire.
