a very important part of the competition. Try to take 15 minutes out of
your day to do something physical, even if it is taking the stairs
instead of the elevator.

score is based on how well you show the judges your ability to
articulate, show confidence, as well as your overall personality and
appearance.

is based on your poise, posture, grace, elegance and overall look, how

compliments you.

you at registration during the pageant.
SCORING SYSTEM: 25% fitness, 25% evening
gown, 50% private interview. A top fifteen will be selected from
preliminary scoring. Scores are erased and the top fifteen will then
re-compete in swimsuit and gown. The top five will be selected. Once
again, scores are erased and the top five will answer and identical
question. The judges will then rank the contestants in the order they
wish them to place.
APPEARANCES: When you receive your banner it is time to make
