Know Your Pageant System

Honestly, you can only answer that. There are lots of systems out there. You can join any and all of them. But before you do, I’d ask to look at their website to see what you’ll be judged on. Look at their “optionals”. Look at any other aspects of the competition.

I would also learn about their mission statement and what kinds of girls they are looking for. Some pageants focus only on beauty. Other pageants focus on your accomplishments or your community service.

Consider which pageants align with your values and goals. Consider what the pageants can provide to you. Will that particular pageant be able to continue your service to your community.

When in doubt, email the pageant director. Pageant directors are not just wanting to put on a great pageant production, they are wanting girls to enjoy themselves and fall in love with their system.

So do your research. Make sure a particular pageant doesn’t pull you away from who are you. A pageant system should align with who you are and where you want to go.
