I understand that as soon as I submit payment, Future Productions will automatically make the necessary plans for the contestant's participation in the pageant. Therefore, if the contestant should drop out of the pageant, there will be no refund under any circumstances. Any fees above the Acceptance Fee are also not refundable but can be transferred to the following year's participation so long as the contestant notifies the pageant office at least 60 days prior to the start of the state pageant. The required Acceptance Fee is not transferable.
