On pageant day there will be a $5 admission fee at the door for all spectators. Children ages 5 and under are free. The contestant is not charged an admission fee. Each spectator will be given a bracelet which must be worn in order to enter and leave the event. We only accept cash on pageant day, please come prepared. Are there dressing rooms at the venue? Yes! There is definitely space to get ready at the venue. We have a large dressing room available. There are two large professional make-up rooms with mirrors/lights/etc. that can each seat 10-12 contestants. There is also a large common area which will have tables/chairs. There is no need to bring clothing racks, we have plenty for everyone, but we do not have excessive power outlets/mirrors in our common area, so please remember to bring your own
power-strips, extension cords, mirrors, etc, just in case! Please keep the number of people back-stage to a minimum! We prefer to keep it to one or two people per contestant. How much time do we have between presonality wear and formal wear? This totally depends on how many girls are in the pageant. Although I believe 15-20 minutes is a safe time estimate. Why do we need to provide a head-shot? Your head-shot is used to judge photogenic. It is also the photo which will appear in the official program book. You can either snail-mail the photo (it will be returned to you on pageant day) or you can email it to showmepageants@gmail.com. It is easiest for us to receive the head-shot in an email. Head-shots should NOT be overly edited and contestants should not be wearing make-up in their photo if their age group is not allowed to wear make-up onstage. Photos will be printed in black and white in the program book, which is how the judges will view them. You may send photos in either black and white or color. If a photo is sent in color we will change it to black and white for the program book. Remember, we are looking for a natural beauty with an age-appropriate photo! You are welcome to choose your own photographer for your head-shot, but we would like to let you know about our official pageant photographer. Whether or not you use her will NOT affect your scores by any means. We aren't that kind of pageant. Our official pageant photographer is Paisley Prints Photography. Her head-shot sessions are very affordable, she is located in the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri and has taken headshots for national competitions. Please visit her facebook page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/paisleyprints/ What is the schedule on pageant day? 10:30AM - Noon: Open stage time for Teeny, Mini, and Tiny contestants ONLY.
