If you have a passion for a
particular issue, being in a pageant & having a
platform is a dream come true to a titleholder. No,
you don't have to have a platform; you can just do
the pageant because it sounds like a fun, new
experience for you. You don't have to have grandiose
aspirations of changing the world to enter & win
this pageant...it's great to make a difference, and
a platform during the pageant certainly provides a
valuable resource for that (plus it gives you lots
to talk about in your Personal Interview!) And more
importantly, educating people about an issue near
and dear to you is very gratifying & a wonderful way
to spend your year as a local (or state/national)
titleholder, and is to be commended.

Producing and running a pageant of
this caliber requires substantial income. Hotel
expenses (including ballroom rental, rooms, food,
etc) are not complimentary, contrary to what some
might believe. Additionally, marketing and
advertising the pageant, producing a high quality
program book, judges and staff expenses,
accommodations for returning Queens to the
national pageant, and much more all come into play
when budgeting for this kind of an event. We did our
research and our entry fee is very comparable to
other pageants of this caliber. Our pageant is
the *best* pageant value.
-
As
described in the “Information Sheet”, you will
get a Contestant Handbook which lists contact
information of pageant sponsors and resources to
help you prepare. We will have a trunk show from our
wardrobe sponsor to help you with your gown and
other wardrobe choices for the pageant. These are
not mandatory, nor are there fees to attend, and are
designed to help you be at your very best pageant
weekend!
-
Checks must be made payable to
American Beauty, or credit cards are accepted via
Paypal.
Please note: all checks from sponsors must be made
out to you. The pageant office will only accept
checks from you in your or your spouse's name.
Businesses can pay via Paypal, also.

Our prize list is updated as
sponsors are added for 2007. The biggest prize is
the opportunity to represent all women of America.
Your return to the national pageant will be paid,
and will include your shared accommodations & meals
pageant week, as well as your flight to host State.
Another prize that other state pageants of this
caliber are not giving is CA$H... we give $1000 to
our winner! Must have five contestants in your
division, in order to qualify.
- You can do
as much or as little as you would like. This means
that appearances are up to you; our marketing
efforts rely somewhat on your participation and
willingness to make appearances as the State or
Regional titleholder for the American Beauty
National Pageant. But we also know you have a
family & other obligations, so we don't expect you
to be doing something every weekend. If you could
commit to two appearance a month should you win, we
would be very happy with that. If you win the
national pageant, your contract will change & you
will be under the direction of the national pageant.
- American
Beauty grants state directors the opportunity to
hold preliminaries. This will be the first year
American Beauty National Pageant has been
produced. Debbie Harris & her business partner’s
were successful as past local and state directors
for Galaxy International.
-
Women who are 13 in the year of the
national pageant date may enter. Children & length
of marriage are not a considering factor in
the Ms. division. No pageant
experience is necessary. 80% of the women who enter
a. pageant have not previously done so! Women must
be natural born female & reside in America. Military
wives stationed in another area but from America (by
birth or previous residency) are the exception.
Email us if you have questions regarding your
eligibility. You will be required to sign an
agreement outlining expectations for your year
should you win the pageant.
-
The total fees to enter American
Beauty National Pageant are $1000.00, which is very
comparable to other pageants of this caliber. This
includes reduced rate at host hotel for your
accommodations, host hotel The Fairmount Hotel; all your meals
during the weekend; contestant gifts upon arrival; welcome
reception to include your family. You can either
pay the fees yourself, or enlist the help of
sponsors, who can be family members, organizations
or businesses.
-
Most
contestants you will see at the American Beauty
National Pageant, are "at-large", which
means the contestant did not have to win another
pageant to enter this one. All contestants will have
a title; your title will be first come, first serve
based on when entry form & payment is received.
Once you pay the $100 title deposit, you can order
your crown from American Beauty, and a satin sash
from www.rainbowsend.com, with your first title
choice; if that is not available, you will get your
second title choice. * Please note that State
directors are being sought for all areas, if you
would like to produce a preliminary pageant to
American Beauty National Pageant, please let the
national office know right away. We are currently
looking for directors in all state areas that are
not highlighted on the director’s map. Other areas
will be considered as well.
At this time, we have state pageant directors in the
areas that are highlighted on the director’s map.
If you are from these areas and want to enter the
state pageant first, please let us know ASAP!
Entering a state pageant, if there is one available
is beneficial because it gives you experience before
the national pageant. It is about 1/3 of the entry
fee of state, and the winner gets a prize package
and fees paid to the national competition.
