Each age/gender
division will have a Divisional King or Queen.

(We
reserve the right to pro-rate; that is, combine any and all divisions if
necessary.
However, we will try to avoid doing this
if at all possible. Minimum of 5
contestants per division is necessary to avoid pro-rating).
Age is based on the day of
the pageant, with a two week grace period in either direction.
Please be prepared to prove age of competitor with a copy of your birth
certificate, should a challenge arise. Also
be prepared to prove residency for your state.
Beauty, plus your choice of
3 of the 12 optionals are required to win a Supreme title.
You may enter as many optionals as you wish and only your three highest
optional scores will count toward the Supreme Titles.
(This is a great way to improve your chances for Supreme & get your
lowest scores “tossed out”!)
Overall optional winners
will receive a crown, trophy and sash. Winners
may be either male or female.
Age division optional
winners will receive a certificate. Winners
will be chosen for each age and gender division.
Beauty outfit can be Sunday Best, Formal Wear, Party
Wear or Pageant Wear and is judged on personality, natural facial beauty &
attire. (Attire is based on
age-appropriateness, fit and how well it compliments the wearer).
The outfit itself is not as important as the person wearing it!
Optionals Available Are:
Photogenic: A head shot photo, 8 ½ x 11 or smaller. No frames. Color or black & white. Contestant’s name and age on the back. You may enter up to four photos and only the highest scoring one will count towards Supremes titles. You must still enter at least two other optional categories, regardless of how many photos you enter, as each option is only counted once towards Supreme. (You may not enter two photos and count that as two optionals)
Talent:
Three minutes max.
You may do TWO talents and only your highest talent score will count
towards Supreme. For each talent,
bring two or more copies of tape, cued and labeled.
Bring back up tapes incase the first one breaks, etc.
You still must do at least two other optional categories, regardless of
how many talents you enter, in order to qualify for Supreme.
(You may not enter two talents and count that
as two optionals)
Portfolio: 5-10 photos in an album or binder with contestant’s name
and age indicated on it.
Activity: Scrapbook of achievements, community service, awards, sports,
etc.
Patriotic
Wear:
Anything Red, White and Blue. Be
creative and have fun! Straight
runway walking and turns (no pro-am modeling).
Casual
Wear:
Your favorite Christmas/Winter outfit.
Off the rack ONLY. No pro-am modeling.
Sportswear: High glitz is definitely allowed. Pro-am routines or anything-goes routines also allowed and
encouraged.
Personality: Judged during an on-stage interview with the director.
This takes place immediately after you present your beauty/formal wear
event. Everyone will be briefed the
day of the pageant on how this works, exactly.
For babies and younger children, a favorite toy in lieu of actual
questions may be used (to see how the child interacts with the toy and the
director).
Most
Beautiful/Handsome: Judged on natural facial
beauty and determined during beauty/formal wear event.
Best
Fashion:
Judged during beauty/formal wear event and based on age appropriateness,
fit and how well it compliments the wearer (NOT on cost of garment, designer,
etc).
Best
Model:
Judged during Beauty (there is no modeling score needed to win Beauty.
This is just an optional).
All
American Artist: Design and bring in a
poster promoting All American Family California Pageants. Will be judged on ability for age, creativity and overall
appeal. All entries will be on
display during the pageant and will be kept by the pageant for display at future
events!
All
Optionals will be awarded on an Overall Basis (one overall winner in each
optional category) AND on an age division basis.
Please
note that at NO TIME are bathing suits allowed onstage!!
Double Crown Policy:
We do not double crown!
If you win Elite Supreme you are not also eligible to win Mini-Supreme or
King/Queen. If you win Mini-Supreme you are not eligible to win
King/Queen. The four Supreme titles
will be placed as “Prince/Princess” until they are announced as Supreme
winners. Winning Supreme,
King/Queen, etc does not have any effect on your ability to win Overall and/or
Divisional Optionals. The
one exception to this rule is if there is only ONE person in a division AND they
also win a Supreme title. In that
case, they may be crowned Queen (or King) of their division as well as Mini or
Elite Supreme. This keeps
the level of surprise high for everyone. "Hostess" title also
has no bearing on any other titles and may be "double-crowned.
If you win an optional on
an overall basis, you will not be eligible to win it again at the age division
basis. Again, you will win the
highest award you achieve. Boys and
girls compete equally for Grande Supreme, Mini-Supreme and Overall Optional
awards.
Judging Criteria:
We are a family values
oriented pageant system. We believe all contestants are beautiful and that each
individual has a special and unique value. We offer a variety of different
options (which apply toward Supreme), each weighted equally, so that contestants
can choose their own areas of strength and put their best foot forward.
We seek to be represented by contestants who are naturally beautiful, inside and
out. They have personality, character and a special quality that shines through.
We want to see each one as an individual. We will not do any line-ups at this
pageant. We want each contestant to be evaluated on his or her own merit and not
compared to other contestants.
The Beauty score is determined based on three areas: Personality (as determined
by interview. This is not an 'I.Q.' test but based on the personal appeal &
character of each individual), Natural Facial Beauty ('pageant' hair and some
makeup are allowed, but we prefer them to be age appropriate and to enhance the
natural beauty of the contestant, not alter their appearance to look like an
unnatural "standard." We do discourage "obvious" makeup,
especially on babies & small children. Older girls are allowed a little more
lee-way. Please, no fake tans, fake eyelashes, extensions, falls, etc. The point
is that cosmetics should enhance, not alter, the appearance) and Attire (which
is based on how well the clothing fits, how age appropriate it is and how well
it compliments the wearer). We do not judge by the cost of the garment, who the
designer is or how many beads are on the dress. A fancy pageant dress and a
Sunday Best dress could be equally successful if they fit all of these criteria
and if the contestant looks and feels great in them.
For photos we allow glamour type pictures and they can have fancy hair &
makeup. However, we prefer photos that look "real" and not overly
"retouched." Many pageant photographers automatically touch up the
photos and we are not penalizing them for this. However, we prefer that the
photo be an accurate representation of the person, as much as possible. We do
not look for only the big name pageant photographers. A good photo from a local
department store could be just as successful as a top pageant photographer. We
are judging the photogenic merit of the person in the photo, not the skill of
the photographer. There is no score for "eye contact." Smiling or
serious photos are equally acceptable.
For modeling ability (and talent) we look at what they are able to do and how it
relates to the age of the contestant. For beauty modeling, we prefer straight
run-way, Miss America-type modeling. For the optional sportswear modeling event
each contestant is allowed to choose his or her own modeling style. We do not
add or subtract points for the style they choose, merely for how well they model
for their age. (There is no "modeling" score for the beauty
competition).
We especially like to see contestants who are attractive, personable, poised,
confident and happy with themselves.
We
will also award a “Host” or “Hostess” award,
based on most referrals over 5 (6 or more).
