Contestants will be judged according to whether they are dressed naturally or semi-glitz. We will have a Facebook event page/group with posted examples. If you have any questions, please reach out for clarification before the pageant. We are looking for a beautiful face and not the most expensive wardrobe. We encourage age-appropriate makeup due to stage lighting, but please use it in good taste. Remember, the judges will not be looking for an adult in a child’s body. At no time is anyone allowed to talk with a judge. If this is done, your child will not be allowed to compete and will forfeit all entry fees and awards. If you need help with your wardrobe, please feel free to call me. That is what I am here for.
