Formal Attire
Formal Wear/ Gown: Contestants in 1st Grade and over will model a full-length pageant or prom gown of their choice. Contestants in Pre-School, Pre-K & K may wear short or long dresses. Judges will be looking for a naturally beautiful queen, with lots of grace, elegance, and lots of personality.
Contestants fourth grade and under: We are not a glitz pageant system. We are looking for a naturally polished queen. Makeup should be light for interview: Light makeup is allowed- blush, powder, mascara, and lip gloss. Contestants can wear makeup under the harsh stage light for on stage competitions. Judges will be made aware of these rules and deduct accordingly.
Contestants in fifth grade and over, make up, pageant hair styles, and sparkle are allowed in these divisions! Judges will be looking for a naturally beautiful, confident, and well put together queen. You do not need pageant experience to participate!

Casual Wear: Wear anything you want! Judges will be looking for a contestant that is naturally beautiful with lots of personality. You will model in runway style. This is a sponsored event by Marc Defang.
Spokesmodel: Our favorite competition! Contestants will answer a question on stage after our evening gown competition. One winner will be named in the overall division as well as a grade level queen. This event is completely optional in all divisions, and the audience will not know that you get to CHOOSE your question. :)
Photogenic: Contestants should bring one photo to check in - 8 by 10 in size. This photo can be black & white or color. No frames please.
