Judging NO Beauty Score-After speaking to several contestants and parents, one thing that bothered them about pageants was a beauty score, after all, ALL our contestants are beautiful. We nixed the beauty score and are looking instead at the following: -Posture/Poise: 10 Points (Not stiff or slumped) -Modeling: 10 points (Not too rehearsed, but knows what to do) -Confidence: 10 points (Look those judges in the eyes) -Personality: 10 points (Shine on that stage!) -Hair/Makeup: 10 points (age appropriate, flatters the contestant) -Dress/Outfit: 10 points (age appropriate, color/fit/style flatters the contestant) -On Stage Interview (Miss Only): 20 points. One simple question will be asked. Question will NOT be politically centered. It will be a way to show something positive about the contestant, our community, or her way of thinking. See a list of possible questions here. -Judges will not be from Vilonia and will be over the age of 18 with experience in pageants. We will strive for 5 judges (sometimes people cancel and we cannot help that). Miss Vilonia Formal Wear All contestants will compete in formal wear. Contestants may wear pageant dresses, fancy church dresses, or pants suits. The judges will judge based on age appropriateness and flattering the fit, style and color are for the contestant. This is a Queen title and Queens will be encouraged to represent Vilonia at local parades, events, etc. Doors will open an hour before the event and contestants will have up to the last 15 mins to practice on stage if they like. Miss Spirit of Vilonia Preteen-Miss contestants will have the opportunity to compete for a second title! Those who enter the Miss Spirit of Vilonia portion will change into an outfit of their choice that is red, black, white, or grey/silver for this walk. Outfits can be fun, casual, or sporty. Score will be based on Posture/Poise, Confidence, Personality, Hair/Makeup, Outfit. NO onstage question during this portion. Contestants are allowed to win both titles. Crowning of this title will take place with Miss Vilonia crowning. Contestants must be entered in Miss Vilonia and pay the additional fee to participate in the Spirit of Vilonia competition. This is a Queen title and Queens will be encouraged to represent Vilonia at local parades, events, etc. We will not have alternates in this division. Onstage Optional Events: Onstage optional events are: Model, Smile, Dress, & Personality. All contestants in a division have a final lineup after everyone has completed their walk. Only those who have paid for optional events will be judged. Judges will then decide the optional winners. Photogenic All photogenic photos are to be emailed to [email protected] with the subject heading Miss Vilonia Contestant- (First and last name). PLEASE be sure to include the contestant's first and last name in the subject line. We will ONLY take emailed photos. Do not submit actual photos with your entry. If you need to scan photos to email, please contact Mrs. Atkins at 501-796-2111 (connect to the library). Photos can be colored or black and white. Photos need to be clear with a good view of the contestant's face. They will be judged on the contestant and how she connects with the viewer. Highly edited/filtered photos will not win. Some edits are fine. $5 for each photo entered (no limit). Pageant format *Note: This could change due to the size of the divisions. We will give contestants time to change between events. We will need you to hustle though.
