Most Photogenic:
This is an optional entry. Contestants can pay $10 to submit a single photo or $20 to submit 3. Please bring photos on the day of the competition for judging. Contestants will compete against others in their own age group.

Attire:
Formal attire; your choice of any long appropriate dress.  Cupcake Dresses are fine for Little Miss and under. We are just looking at the dresses being age appropriate for the contestant. Sunday Best to semi-glitz for little miss only. You will compete individually first and then come back out for comparative judging. 

Contestants ages 5+ will do their introduction and have an on-stage question. Little Miss contestants choosing to wear formal attire will not score any different versus a contestant wearing Sunday best. For contestants under 5, introduction is optional. 

This is a natural to semi-glitz pageant. For ages 0-7 we prefer no make-up but it can be light (powder, mascara, clear lip-gloss). For ages 8+ anything goes.
