Baby & Tiny divisions: Any Sunday best or holiday dress (no fancy pageant dresses). All other age divisions: long formal gowns (ie bridesmaid, prom, flowergirl). Up to 6 may wear babydoll dresses. Up to age 9 may wear tea-length dresses. NO short pageant dresses! Gowns can have some glitz. Contestants in the 3-4 division will be asked short questions. All contestants ages 5 & up will give a short speech into the microphone. Name, age, hometown and ambition are required, you may say anything else as long as you don't go over a minute.

All age divisions must be one piece! No glitz - no stones unless purchased off the rack that way. Custom swimwear is allowed as long as there is no glitz! You may wear shoes or go barefoot. Beach music will be played, no pro-am. Props allowed!

Off the rack casual wear. No glitz unless purchased that way (Justice has lots of already stoned outfits and that is okay!) Custom pieces are allowed as long as there is no glitz. Runway modeling, no pro-am!

The only category where a lot of glitz will be accepted - afterall, it is a party! Party dresses, holiday sets, pants suit - anything goes here! Props are allowed and encouraged. Party wear can have a theme, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's, or just a plain old fancy party! Use your imagination. Fun makeup & fun fake hair can be used in this category only if it "goes" with your outfit. Runway modeling. You can provide your own "themed" music or we will provide for you.

A professional photo or snapshot of the contestant. Headshots preferred. Photos should be natural, no "pageant" make-up alllowed. We are looking for natural beauty. Photo cannot be more than 3 years old.

Any type of talent (dance, song, acting, etc.) is acceptable. No sword/knife or fire acts. Any attire is acceptable, can be glitzy. Please bring a labeled CD. Time limit: 3 minutes (YOU MAY DO 2 TALENTS)

All contestants must wear their t-shirt that was given to them at registration with any type of BLACK bottoms (jeans, capris, skirts, shorts - no overalls) and choice of footwear.

What a great opportunity to appear on stage together. All we ask is that either the mother or daughter be registered as a contestant. The cost of this competition is only $50. Mother and daughter will appear on stage together, answer the following question: "What makes your mom (daughter) so special?" and then walk the runway together.
