Judging
Our judges will be judging on personality, stage presence, self-confidence,
first impression, and overall appearance for Formal Wear. We do not judge on facial beauty. We believe every contestant is beautiful and we want to see the girls just have fun. Even though we tell our judges what our pageant system judges on, judges all have opinions and you are being judged on their opinion your score will be a combination of their opinions. There will be out-of-town judges. Judges’ score sheets will be given to contestants following crowning. Optional categories will in no way affect scoring of the Formal Wear
portion of the competition.

Ages 0-4 no make-up

For all ages, we ask that contestants do not have hair pieces (fake hair),
spray tans or flippers. 1/2 a point from the score will be taken off if a
judge sees make-up on ladies 4 and under and if she is wearing
hair pieces or has a spray tan.
