SPONSOR FEE: If you owe a balance on your sponsor fee, it must be paid no later than Pageant Check-In. Only cash, credit/debit cards, or money orders are accepted at Pageant Check-in. No checks are accepted.
OPTIONALS: We will keep entries open until the optional fills up for that age division, (for example, Top Model usually fills up may not be available much longer). If you want to enter optionals, we encourage you to do so now. You secure your spot by paying the optional contest entry fee. If you still want to enter optionals at Pageant Check-in, you will be able to do so as long as there are still spots available, (except Photogenic, Red Carpet Correspondent and Actress because those entries must be uploaded in advance).
PHOTOGENIC, ACTRESS, AND RED CARPET CORRESPONDENT SUBMISSIONS: If you have paid the entry fee for Photogenic, Actress, and/or Red Carpet Correspodent, those photos and/or videos must be uploaded for judging no later than one week prior to your Pageant Check-in. Upload at this link.
ONLINE PAYMENTS: Online payments will be closed about 10 days before the pageant and all payments must be made in person onsite at the pageant and only cash, or credit/debit cards, or money orders will be accepted. If you have sponsor checks, they must be received in our office by at least two weeks before the pageant. Sponsor checks and personal checks can not be turned in at the pageant. If the online payment deadline has not already passed, click above on "Make a Payment: to submit payment. If the deadline has passed, you will need to bring payment (cash, debit/credit card, or money order) to Pageant Check-in.
