Attire/Modeling/On Stage Question: The dress for the 0-11 year olds will be Formal Wear. PLEASE MAKE SPECIAL NOTES TO DRESS REQUIREMENTS. The Preteen Miss division will have formal wear and casual wear. ONLY CONTESTANTS UNDER THE AGE OF 4 MAY HAVE AN ESCORT ON STAGE. IF ESCORTS ARE NEEDED FOR ANY CONTESTANT OVER THE AGE OF FOUR, THIS MAY COUNT FOR DEDUCTIONS IN THE CONTESTANT’S SCORING. Each contestant in the 0-11 year old age groups will enter the stage individually and exit off the stage. (Before the 4-11 year olds exit the stage, the Emcee will ask him/her brief questions pertaining to the “facts of interest” portion on his/her entry form. We will try to have these questions as close to age appropriate as possible.) After the contestant exits the stage, they need to quickly return to the hallway and remain in numerical order. After each contestant of his/her age group has entered and exited the stage, that age group will be asked to re-enter the stage as a group so the judges can have their final look and tally the scores. At this time, winners will be announced. Only winners will remain on the stage so a representative from the County Star News can take a group picture for the paper. ONLY PICTURES BY THE PAGEANT MEDIA REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE ALLOWED AT THIS TIME. ALL OTHER PICTURES MAY BE TAKEN AFTER THE PAGEANT.

​

Preteen Pageant: The 12 year olds to 8th grade girls will be considered the Preteen Miss Division. They will need to arrive in their Casual Wear. Each contestant of this age division will enter the stage and introduce herself and then model her Casual Wear and have a short interview on stage. After the contestant exits the stage in her Casual Wear, she must return to the dressing room and change as quickly as possible to her Formal Wear. After the contestant has walked the runway, they will answer a random question for the judges. After the contestant answers her question, she will smile one last time for the judges before making her exit. After each contestant has had her turn we will call all contestants back on to the stage. Winners will be announced at this time.

​

Awards: Age Group Awards will be issued to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners and a special award will be given for the “Best Smile” and “Most Photogenic”. The Director’s of the pageant do not have authority over the Judges results regarding final placements. Contestants, parents, and other supporters are expected to show good sportsmanship and behave sensibly.

 

Sponsorships: A business, organization, or group may sponsor contestants, but it is not necessary. These sponsors will be mentioned during the contestant’s introduction. Photos will be used for the photogenic award judging and to print in the County Star-News. (Please note that due to the newspaper’s strict printing deadlines, only paid entries received on or before February 17, 2025, will be printed in the newspaper.)

​

Photogenic Contest: The photo judging will be a separate competition and will not be counted towards the judging of the pageant. Winners of the photo judging will be announced during the pageant.
