Contestants 0-13 yrs. Choose Your Style!

Natural & Glitz Separation
For girls in the Baby Miss through Jr. Miss age divisions (0-13yrs.) there will be two age divisions one Natural and one Glitz.
Natural
A natural contestant in not allowed to wear any make up or use false hair, tanning, eyelashes and or flippers while competing. Not in the beauty competition or any on-stage optional event (Runway, Swimwear, Physical Fitness and Western Wear). For non-performing optional events such as Photogenic, Portfolio or Composite they must turn in un-retouched photographs. Natural contestants may wear CLEAR lip gloss only. There are no clothing restrictions.
Glitz
A glitz contestant can wear make up and use false hair, tanning, eyelashes and/or flippers in the beauty competition and all on stage optional events. They may turn in retouched photographs for non performing optional events.
Supreme Titles

To qualify for the Grand Supreme and Mini Supreme titles we use your beauty competition score and your two highest scoring optional events. At least one of the optional events used for your supreme score must be an on stage modeling optional event (ex. Runway). There is no limit to how many optional events you can enter. Overall Most Beautiful is judged by the highest beauty competition score in the pageant.

Remember you don’t have to enter any optional events to win our divisional beauty titles, but you do need them if you would like to qualify for the supreme titles.
