Frequently Asked Questions
1.Q: This is my first
time participating in national pageant. Do I have a chance at winning some of
the top titles?
A: ABSOLUTELY! We even have a few titles specially designed for first time contestants or those who have never won money at pageant before.
2. Q: Do I have to stay at the hotel?
A. No. Some people live close enough that they have no need to stay at the hotel. While it may be convenient to reserve a room we do provide a changing room for those not staying at the hotel. (Please be advised that no men are allowed in the changing room at any time. No exceptions.)
3. Q: Is this natural or glitz?
A: You have the option to compete in natural beauty, glitz beauty, or both! There are hair and make up restrictions for Natural Beauty. See paperwork. You are allowed to wear/use makeup, hair pieces, etc for all other events besides Natural Beauty. The amount of "glitz" is up to the discretion of the parent/contestant. For glitz beauty, swim wear, casual wear, OOC, and celebrity wear you are allowed to be as glitzy as you'd like or you can be low glitz (light makeup), IT IS UP TO YOU! Judges are NOT deducting nor awarding additional points for the amount of makeup a contestant wears or how expensive their clothing is. MCS is designed to give everyone a fair chance at winning regardless of how much they spend, if this is their first, or 100th pageant. As always it is most important that you bring your smile, personality, and energy.

5. Q: Is there an additional fee to compete in BOTH natural beauty and glitz beauty?
ANSWER: No, there is no additional fee for competing in both beauties. Both are included in the package. It is your choice whether or not you'd like to participate in natural beauty, glitz beauty, or both. If you decide to compete in both only your one highest beauty score will be used toward titles. Again, there is no price difference!
6. Q: When is my balance due?
ANSWER: You must submit a deposit as soon as possible but your remaining balance is not due until pageant weekend.
7. Q: Do you offer sibling discounts?
ANSWER: Yes, we do offer sibling discounts. 2nd child gets 50% off the current Supreme Package.
Please email [email protected] for more info.
8. Q: Do the same judges judge all of the weekend's events?
ANSWER: No. We have two separate panels of judges. Each panel consists of three qualified judges. See tentative schedule.
9. Q: Why are deposits non-refundable?
ANSWER: Our staff works hard to insure that every contestant receives exactly what we promise as far as prizes and a quality production. Because we GUARANTEE every contestant will be awarded with a custom crown, sash, and prizes, deposit funds can be used months in advance of the pageant, to secure venues, place orders for quality prizes, and cover other production fees.
10. Q: Can I compete again if I competed last year?
ANSWER: See our Rules for Recompeting page.
