2017 Contestants,

Enclosed you should find the information you need to compete at the Little Miss Kentucky pageants. Royal Arts is proud to carry on this tradition to allow young girls the opportunity to gain experience on stage and develop their talents. While this pageant is not directly affiliated with Miss Kentucky, it is a fundraiser for the Miss Kentucky Scholarship Organization and winners will be given opportunities to make appearances at Miss Kentucky functions. All opinions, information, and materials expressed here and at the pageant are those directly from Royal Arts.

Registration and payments are due by June 1st. Please read the information carefully and pay attention to paperwork required for submission! As always, if you find you still have questions don’t hesitate to contact us via email or phone. We will have a Facebook group dedicated to contestants for general announcements also. If we do not add you to the group when you register, please contact us. All questions, comments, and concerns should be directly addressed to me, Victoria, the director.

We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones this June!

Sincerely, Victoria Giroux, Director 859-321-8857 [email protected]



Age and Division Guidelines

There will be four age divisions as follows. Each contestant will be placed in the appropriate division based on her age on the date of the pageant, June 17th.

(Contestants turning 13 before June 30th are ineligible.)

Tiny Miss: 3-5 years Little Miss: 6-8 years Junior Miss: 9-10 years PreTeen Miss: 11-12 years

There will be four crowned titles given and no overall titles.

Competition

Tiny Miss and Little Miss will compete in the following areas of competition:

Casual Wear Modeling (45%) Evening Gown (45%) On Stage Question (10%)

Junior Miss and PreTeen Miss will compete in the following areas of competition:

Private Interview (25%) Casual Wear Modeling (20%) Talent (20%) Evening Gown (25%) On Stage Question (10%)

Competition Details

Casual Wear Modeling: Casual wear is the time for the contestant to show off their personality with an outfit that reflects their style. This is not a “theme wear” competition and off the rack clothes are required. Simply put, a nice outfit hanging in your closet is appropriate. Modeling should be natural in style. A walking map is enclosed.

Evening Gown: Stones and beading are allowed on dresses. Most pageant gowns are acceptable. We discourage custom glitzy cupcake dresses or extravagantly stoned



dresses as this is a natural pageant. A walking map is enclosed.

Private Interview: Interview will be conducted by a panel and will be approx. 3 mins in length. Most questions will be derived from the Bio sheet you will turn in with registration. Attire should be stylish, age appropriate, and comfortable.

Talent: Talent is required beginning at age 9 because it is meant to help prepare girls to later compete in the Miss Kentucky’s Outstanding Teen and Miss Kentucky pageants. No one expects a professional talent, as girls this age are just discovering what they like and learning the skills needed to perform their talents. For some, talent is their favorite part… for others it can be the source of anxiety! If your contestant has never competed in talent or feels she is still trying to work out her talent, don’t be discouraged by this portion of competition because it truly is meant to be an opportunity to “try” and more often times than not, they are right on par with the other contestant skill levels!

Time must be 90 seconds or less. No duplicate talents will be accepted per age division. If there are duplicate talents or very similar talents we will accept the one who registered first. Those using the same song but different talents will be

accepted. For example, “Shake It Off” with a lyrical dance and “Shake It Off” with a tap dance would be accepted. Two lyricals to “Shake It Off” would not be accepted. A piano is the only prop provided. If you wish to use a prop or props they need to be easily taken on and off stage. **Talent Music needs to be emailed by June 1st unless other arrangements are made.

On Stage Question: Questions will be your standard age appropriate questions. Questions will not be given ahead of time because we frown upon rehearsed answers. These are not meant to stump or confuse the contestant, simply meant for the audience to get to know her better since we do not get to sit in on private interview. This will be done in evening gown.

Makeup: Age appropriate and a natural appearance is stressed. If you choose to use makeup it needs to be light and natural looking. The judges are notified of this, however, it is still up to the judges discretion to deduct points if they feel makeup is too heavy or not.

Optional Competitions

Optional competitions are simply an extra opportunity to compete in various ways. These competitions have no effect on your main competition score and will be scored by a separate panel of judges on Saturday night. Some of these competitions have separate entry fees, but some are free! Please make sure to double check you include all required paperwork/materials for the areas you choose to compete in. Tiny Miss and Little Miss Talent ($25): What sets this pageant apart from others is the inclusion of talent being required beginning at age 9. Here is an opportunity to get your little one on stage and let her explore her talents! No one expects a professional talent as girls this age are just learning what they like to do and the skills to achieve them. We respect the effort more than anything! (We also respect how adorable they are performing!!) Time must be 90 seconds or less. No duplicate talents will be accepted per age division. If there are duplicate talents or very similar talents we will accept the one who registered first. Those using the same song but different talents will be accepted. For example, “Shake It Off” with a lyrical dance and “Shake It Off” with a tap dance would be accepted. Two lyricals to “Shake It Off” would not be accepted. A piano is the only prop provided. If you wish to use a prop or props they need to be easily taken on and off stage. Talent Music needs to be emailed by June 1st unless other arrangements are made. **1st Runner Up and Winners will perform their talents during the Sunday pageant.

Costume/Theme Wear Modeling ($25): The theme for this is “Great Female Icons”! We want to see you represent or imitate a female role model from the past or present. These can be from any realm of life including but not limited to entertainment, political, activists, sports, education, fictional, etc. Winners are selected per age division. There will be 1 overall winner per pageant as well. **1st Runner Up and Winners will model their costumes during the Sunday pageant.

Photogenic ($10/per photo): Each contestant can enter unlimited photogenic entries. This is a natural pageant, and glitzy styled and overly photoshopped photos usually do not fare well with judges. Winners are selected per age division. There will be 1 overall winner per pageant as well. (Photos are turned in at registration.)

Photogenic Portfolio ($25): A portfolio entry will consist of 5-7 different modeling photos of the contestant. The portfolio should be a mix of headshot and full body images. Winners are selected per age division. There will be 1 overall winner per pageant as well. (Portfolios are turned in at registration.)

Junior Miss and PreTeen Miss Academic Achievement (Free): There is a form to fill out to showcase the contestants academic achievement. Supplemental documentation is



allowed and encouraged. There will be 1 winner per division. (Supplemental materials will be submitted at registration.)

Outstanding Community Service Award (Free): There is a form to fill out to showcase the contestant’s outstanding commitment to community service. Using your title and crown to give back and uplift others is at the heart of pageantry and we want to recognize those who fulfill those duties. There will be 1 winner per division.

People’s Choice Award ($1 per vote): One girl per pageant will be crowned the people’s choice winner. This will be decided upon the voters! Each vote costs $1 and will be available all weekend up until the awards ceremonies. All proceeds benefit the Miss Kentucky Scholarship Organization. Winner’s receive a crown, trophy, and flowers.

Cover Girl Model: The inside cover of the program can be earned by purchasing/selling the most ads. The contestant who sells the most ads will receive the cover girl award and will be acknowledged on stage as well as featured on the inside cover of the program with a full color ad.

I certify that, ____________________________, will compete with integrity and a good sportsmanlike attitude. The information provided here is all factual and her age is truthful.

In the event my daughter wins a title she will fulfill her duties to the utmost ability including appearances, photo shoots, and at official Miss Kentucky events. If for whatever reason she can not fulfill the duties (which is up to the director’s discretion and unlikely), I understand the title may be given to the 1st Runner up.

I vow to not contact judges to discuss scores and results. I understand scores and results are final unless a technical error has occurred with tabulating.
