Southern Grace Pageants is a natural pageant system. Presentation, stage presence and personality are important factors.  

Contestant Line-up: Line-up in each age division will be determined by the date your entry form and deposit or payments are received. First entry form with deposit received will be last contestant in line-up or your choice. 

Hair:  We do NOT allow clip on hair extensions or hair pieces for any age. A contestant will not be disqualified, however 1/10 of a point will be deducted from each judge on the appearance score from all stage events. 

Make-up: Natural pageant makeup is allowed for ages 5 and up. 

What’s NOT allowed: Fake eye lashes, tanning and flippers are NOT allowed ANY age. A contestant will not be disqualified, however 1/10 of a point will be deducted from each judge on the appearance score from all stage events. We will be checking backstage before each event. 

Judging:

We do not judge on facial beauty. We believe every contestant is beautiful, and we want to see the girls just have fun. Even though we tell our judges what our pageant system judges on, judges all have opinions, and you are being judged on their opinion. Your score will be a combination of their opinions. There will be out-of-town judges. Judges’ score sheets will be given to contestants following awards.

If you see a judge outside of the ballroom, just say hi. Any lengthy conversation is unfair to the other contestants and not allowed.

Formal Wear: Contestants must wear a floor length pageant dress that is age appropriate. Any color is acceptable. No mid-drift, two piece dresses. Judges will judge on overall first impression, appearance, stage presence and personality. Contestants will be allowed 75 seconds onstage in this event. Formal walks need to be natural. No pro-am modeling is allowed. Formal Wear is worth 1/2 of final score when determining Grand Supreme and Mini Supreme Titles. Formal Wear is worth 100% of final score when determining Division titles. 

Outfit of Choice: All walks need to be under 75 seconds. Outfits may be custom made or off the rack. Wear something that fits their personality. No swimsuits, no stomachs showing. Can be but not limited to: Western Wear, fairytale, etc. NO scary costumes. Music is provided by SGP staff. Natural modeling is allowed. No pro-am modeling. Stage props are not allowed. You can have a hand held prop.  Outfit of Choice is worth 1/2 of final score when determining Grand Supreme and Mini Supreme Titles.

Photogenic – Photos are due October 1st: There will be one winner per age division for photogenic awards. Photogenic photos need to be emailed to Melinda Bell as a jpeg and as an attachment only. High resolution photos only sent from a computer. Do not forward from your phone or use snapshots. Email to: mbell@sgpageants.com. Photos may be naturally retouched but must still look like the contestant. No glitz photos. Photos will be scored by a different set of judges than pageant day judges. Either color or black & white photos are acceptable. Please include contestant’s name and age division in your email. Judges will be looking for clarity, quality, and personality. Photos will only count for photogenic division awards. 

People’s Choice Queens:There will be one People’s Choice Queen per supreme breakdown awarded to the contestant who obtains the most votes from her fans. Each vote is $1. Bring all votes to check-in the day of the pageant. 

Dressing Rooms/Backstage: Contestants will be allowed ONLY one chaperone in the dressing area and backstage. Siblings and friends will need to wait in the lobby or ballroom. 

Photography: No cameras, cell phones, or other devices used as cameras allowed in the ballroom. Video is allowed of your daughter only. Southern Grace Staff is not responsible for any items left or stolen at the pageant venue. Please leave valuables at home. Most importantly, every contestant is a winner. We expect everyone to respect each other and refrain from any negative remarks. Any concerns or questions need to be addressed to the pageant staff only.

Stage Set-up:The pageant is a ballroom with a riser stage. Someone will be backstage to assist contestants onstage. The Xs are set up in a front T shape. They will come on from the right if looking at the stage and exit left.  They will finish in the middle X up front. They will not finish at the back of the stage.

Contestants will have 75 seconds per stage event. Once they hit 75 seconds, they will be called off stage. It is a good idea to practice before the pageant, so that the contestants understand when they are being called onto the stage and off stage.
