you provide on the application. Interview outfit will consist of pageant t-shirt and jeans.After each girl is
interviewed they will be given the opportunity to practice before the evening competition. We will
also have practices before the date of the pageant and someone will notify you of those dates and
times. For the eveningwear category, the girls will need a formal dress. Points may be taken away
because of distracting accessories, such as large bows, hats or anything else that will draw attention
away from the contestant. The two optional categories are:
Photogenic: Photogenic pictures may be no larger than 8x10’s, and must be turned in during one of
the rehearsals. Fees are to be turned in by the deadline along with the application. You can enter
