Throughout our pageant system, from the local level to the international level, delegates are judged in three areas:
- Interview Competition (1/3)
Pageant judges spend time with each contestant to learn about her successes, talents, goals and ambitions. Attention is focused on her poise, charm, self-confidence and her ability to communicate, as well as the substance of her answers.
- Swimsuit/Activewear Competition (1/3)
Attention is focused on beauty of face, figure, physical fitness, and the confidence with which each contestant carries herself. Numerical measurements are not considered in the judging.
- Evening Gown Competition (1/3)
Each contestant wears a gown she has chosen for herself. Attention is focused on each contestant’s overall appearance, self-confidence, sense of style and the beauty she brings to the gown of her choice.
* There is no talent competition and no experience is necessary
