Shelly the Pageant Coach here and I want to share with all you pageant newbies some tips and helpful hints about this exciting world of pageantry. You know I get questions every day from girls I coach and from girls who come to my different pageant related websites. So I have 10 of the most frequently asked questions that I'm going to share the answers with YOU.
 
 

Question: I want to compete in pageants but I don't know which system I should compete with. Which should I choose?

 

Answer: Your choice depends on what your goals are and what you plan to accomplish through Pageantry. Some people use the experience of pageantry to help sharpen their skills for acquiring a job.

 

The interview portion of competition forces you to improve your understanding of the world around you so you can speak intelligently about any subject. Facing unknown judges who will score you based on the way you respond to their questions is very similar to the job application interview process.

 

Some use this experience to expand their communication skills to help land a job in journalism and broadcasting.

 

Others look at pageants as a way to test their physical presentation skills as they launch a modelling career. Walking the runway at a beauty contest is just as stressful as displaying the latest designer clothes at an upscale fashion show.

 

Another motivation for contestants is to recieve scholarship funds to help pay for higher education.

 

Decide what is your prime reason for entering competition. If you are interested in career development then any of the pageant systems will offer you an outlet top improve the necessary skills. But if you are interested in scholorships and raising funds for educational reason then the Miss America System is the approbriate choice for you. The America Pageant system's focus is on improving the lives of women through positive experiences and educational growth.

 

The USA system is more suited to those who want to explore the glamorous side. If you are heading down the modelling and acting path the USA system is a better choice.

 

The Miss Plus System are designed for larger full bodied women and girls who don't fit the typical beauty queen image. This system is designed to give plus size women a chance to experience the same thrill of walking down the runway, competing with their peers, and honing their life skills in the process.

 

There are many new systems popping up around the globe but the two business models they resemble are based on the Miss America and the USA System.

 

Research any pageant you are considering and look to see which one best assist you in reaching your goals.

 

Yours in Pageantry
