Interview: 1/3 of final score

Interview will take place via Zoom on March 21, 2021.Once you are registered, you will receive the state handbook and a link to access the Zoom meeting.

Each contestant will have a scheduled interview time. They will sit in a panel-style interview in front of all judges for 3 minutes during the Zoom meeting. The director will welcome the contestant to the meeting. Once everyone is logged in and ready, the director will instruct the contestant to begin and  give her opening statement: Name, Age and where she is from. (EX: Good morning judges, I am Zori Hewell and I am 14 yrs old from North Georgia.) Interview questions will come from the contestant’s bio. Judges will not ask current event or political questions. Judges want to get to know the young lady and see their personality.Contestants are required to wear an interview dress, suit or jumpsuit. Choose something that reflects your personality.

Formal Wear: 1/3 of final score

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 (hair and make-up is not judged), stage presence and personality. Judges will not judge the space where you record your walk.  Since this is a virtual pageant, hair and make-up will not be judged. The contestant should have hair out of face so that judges can see her. Walks must be under 75 seconds.

Introduction: 1/3 of the formal wear score

Contestants will have a short introduction during their formal walks. They will enter the stage/room and present the intro at the first X which is located in the back. Use a microphone, hair brush, marker, etc. Once finished, hand the mic to someone or lay it down. (This helps practice for National in the fall.) Introductions must include but not limited to the following: Name, age and where they are from. Ex: Good morning ladies and gentlemen, Anna Loren Mazarky. I am 12 years old and representing Georgia. (You can make this your own.) Introductions must stay under 15 seconds and is timed separate from formal wear allotted time of 75 seconds.

We do not judge on facial beauty. We believe every contestant is beautiful, and we want to see the girls just have fun.
