U.S.A.'s PAGEANTS SUPPORT SHELTER
The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia would like to express our gratitude to the youth and teen representatives from U.S.A.’s Pageants who recently held a pageant wide donation drive to benefit HSNEGA. U.S.A. Pageants and its contestants have been supporters of the shelter for many years and we appreciate their continued assistance. Current pageant finalists visited the shelter in September 2011 to drop-off the items they had gathered this year and visit with our animals.

HOW DO I ENTER?

This is very easy :)

First you send an email to :   winthecrown@yahoo.com

Please give your name, state you want to represent, and division you are interested in, also your phone number and email address.

Once we receive your email someone will return your email and you will fill in your application.

You will then need to return your application with a photo ( jpg. imgge or snapshot). Once we receive your application and photo, we will notify you and conduct a phone interview with you.

Afterwards a decision will be made and you will be notified via email of our decision.

  We accept at-large delegates from all states.

Titles are awarded by the national office and at the sole discretion of the National Director.  Any questions about a title should be directed to the national office.  Contestant must submit an additional $200 sponsor fee installment (to be deducted from the $495 sponsor fee) within 30 days of notification of acceptance. If she fails to do so, her title may be offered to another individual, with no refunds no exceptions.

*An at-large  delegate is a contestant who did not go through a preliminary competition to receive her title. She is selected through an application process and is responsible for all fees and duties required of a titleholder. The at-large title carries the same amount of clout as a contestant that wins her title in a preliminary competition.

What awards are given? Semi-finalists are based on the number of delegates in each division. Awards that will be presented in each division are: Most beautiful Gown, Most photogenic.
Overall awards that will be given are: Most Photogenic &  Best Interview.
OPTIONAL CATAGORIES TO ENTER ARE:
NATIONAL SUPERMODEL,&  NATIONAL SWEETHEART ( each has a $50 entry fee)


What is the entry fee and what does it include? Entry fees are $495.00 and this includes your your salute to diva's meet and greet party. To  secure a state title ,a nonrefundable deposit of $200.00 is required to hold a state title in any division.  Crown & Sash  will not be sent to said delegate until all fees are paid in full. Any fees paid  are non-refundable. Please allow 4 weeks for crown and sash processing and delivery.

Contact the director for state or regional titles, they are awarded on a first come, first serve basis

If you enter 45 days away from nationals you will receive your crown and sash at orientation.

Why is this entry/sponsor fee required?

The total sponsor fee is $495.00 and can be divided up into  4 payments if you request.  The sponsor fee pays for the cost of producing the pageant, awards, trophies, choreographers, emcees, lighting, sound, staging, judges expenses, staff, florists, hotel ballroom rental, awards, printed materials, office support and all of the many other things that go together to make the pageant special for you, the delegate. You may have as many or as few sponsors as you wish contributing to make up your total sponsor fee of $495. Businesses, family, friends, or fund raising activities are all great ideas for raising your  entry sponsor fee.

 

IS PREVIOUS PAGEANT EXPERIENCE REQUIRED TO ENTER?

Absolutely not. Anyone is quite capable of doing well and even winning in our system regardless of prior pageant experience. We will provide you with all the information and help you need. We are looking for a confident delegate who can proudly represent her state. First time contestants, make great contestants and can make wonderful winners


How is interview conducted?  It’s a panel style or round robin interview, 5-7 minutes long,  and you will be asked questions from your judges information form. No political or religious questions are allowed.

DO I have to raise my entry-sponsor fee or can I just pay it?

It is up to you. You can either raise your entry/sponsor  fee, or you can just pay it. Whichever works best for you and your family. Remember that the total entry/ sponsor fee is $495.
