We will supply the music for the formal section of the day however, each contestant must supply their own music for theme wear, fashion wear and also any optional sections entered in to. Music must be submitted no later than 1 week prior to the pageant. The contestant is not required to have a routine on stage, but will need to pose on the “X” marks. With that said, having a set routine can add ‘WOW’ factor and may assist in receiving higher scores for that section.
Music must be in MP3 format.

An adult may accompany your child on the stage (for ages 3 and under unless the contestant has a disability and requires assistance) Entrants eligible to have an assistant will not be marked down.

How is judging scored?
Each contestant will receive points for their stage presence, confidence, smile, modelling ability, personality and attire. Overall we would like to see an entrant that is happy on stage. Where elegance is important in the beauty portion of the day it is equally important to show as much ‘sass and personality’ in the theme, fashion and optional portions as well.
How are the score sheets tallied and winners determined? Will I receive the score sheet?
After each round score sheets will be collected and points entered in to an auto-sum spreadsheet. After all compulsory sections are complete the person with the overall highest score will win our Ultimate Grand Supreme title. As we do not double crown we then move down our results sheet to determine the winners for each of the other sections!
For each division we will award 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Highly commended for each section.
Final scores will then be emailed out to contestants within 72 hours of the pageant concluding.
