Required Competitions
Interview 30%
The Interview Competition is a great time to let the judges know why they should pick you as the next National Queen. Our judges are friendly and are ready to have a conversation with each contestant. There are no political, religious or text book questions. The judges just want to get to know who you are. Contestants should wear a dress, fitted suit, or jumpsuit for this competition. For our virtual platform we will have a "panel" type interview via ZOOM video call that will last about 5 minutes.
During this competition, you will showcase your ability to speak effectively using a microphone and confidently and professionally present yourself on stage. Public Speaking is a skill admired by all. Contestants will introduce themselves on stage, saying their: name, hometown, state, and where they see themselves in the future and/or something interesting about themselves.
Personal Introduction 25%
Formal Wear 20%
All delegates must wear a floor length gown that is age appropriate for the formal wear/evening gown competition. Your gown must fit you properly (think as if the dress was made for you). Contestants are judged on grace, poise/ posture and overall presentation. You will NOT perform with an escort and you must follow the modeling pattern we provide for you.
Resume 15%
Resumes used at the national pageant must be prepared from the template provided to you and must follow the guidelines shown on the template. Ideally, preparing a resume is not a one-time thing. A resume is something that you will want to have in a file, on your computer at home, and continue to build and nurture over the years. If you already have been cultivating a resume, that’s great! If you do not yet have one, then it is never too early to start, no matter what your age!
Community Involvement 10%
The Community Service Project counts for 10% of your Required Competition score in the overall pageant. A full 10% of your pageant score will be automatically awarded to you when you show record of having completed 4 hours of community service at a local, area, or statewide service organization. We will provide you with the form you must complete for this required competition.
