­      Beauty:  Each age division will have 2 Beauty winners – 1 Natural and 1 Glitz.  This is the highest score from Beauty only.  Girls under 12 years may wear short or long dresses; girls 13 years and up should wear long gowns.  Boys may wear blazers, suits, tuxes, etc...  Modeling will be “Miss America” style, set in a “T” formation.  Contestants will be judged on personality, presentation, and attire.  Natural contestants should look natural, with little or no makeup, no falls or hair extensions, no flippers or false teeth, etc...  Glitz contestants may have falls, hair extensions, false teeth/eyelashes/etc, tanning, etc…

­      Photogenic:  There will be 2 Photogenic winners from each division – 1 Natural and 1 Glitz.  Please bring all photos to registration.  Please do not mail!  Be sure to include the contestant’s name and age on the back of the B/W or color photo of any size (no larger than 10”X13”).  No frames, please!  Photos will be returned at the Crowning Ceremony.  Judging will be based on clarity, personality, and overall appeal.  Natural photos should look like the contestant; no “touched up” photos.  Glitz photos may be retouched.

­      Casual Sportswear:  (This is a Natural event!)  There will be a Casual Sportswear winner from each age division.  Contestants will model “Miss America” style to upbeat music.  Attire should be something a younger child might wear to play in, or an older child might wear for an interview.  Think “off-the-rack”.  Knee pops and hands on hips will be allowed. No spins, jumps, or “prissy” walks.  Judging will be based on personality, modeling ability for age, attire, eye contact, and overall appearance.  No false hair, and little to no makeup.  If you have a question, just ask!

­      Pro-Am Sportswear:  (This is a Glitz event!)  There will be a Pro-am Sportswear winner from each age division.  You may wear any type of sportswear from glitzy to vogue.  There is a 2-minute time limit on all routines.  (Leave them wanting more, not less!)  Judging will be based on skill for age, projection, eye contact, attire, and overall appearance.

­      Outfit of Choice:  There will be 1 Natural and 1 Glitz Outfit of Choice winner in each age division.  Anything goes!  Some popular examples include: Swimwear/Beachwear (swimsuits must be a one-piece for girls, swim trunks for boys.)  Westernwear/Denimwear, Sleepwear (must be age appropriate!), Patriotic wear, 50’s wear, Sports/Teamwear (think cheerleading, baseball,…).  These are just a few ideas – be creative!  Modeling is freestyle; however, only Glitz contestants may do pro-am.  Small props will be allowed.  (Please let us know the type of attire you will be wearing so we can have appropriate music.)

*Note: Please keep in mind that staging may not be designed for gymnastic moves/jumps, & while they are allowed in pro-am & some outfits-of-choice, please take this into consideration when developing routines.

We will NOT have changing rooms!

We encourage you to make reservations at the host hotel to sleep in, change in, hang out in, etc...!

AD SALES – PROGRAM BOOKS

All contestants are required to sell at least 1 ad page!  (This is so everyone has a “good luck” page!)

This is a great way to win some wonderful prizes and help pay for your entry fee!  You may have a single sponsor for a full page, or you may mix and match several sponsors on a page.  All ads must be type-set and ready to copy.  All ad sales are due by entry deadline!  No exceptions!  Get busy and let your sponsors pay your pageant fees!  While every effort is made to ensure your ads appear in the program book as you requested, we cannot be responsible for errors or omissions to your page(s).  You will receive full credit for your ad(s) in the event of an error, but we do not give refunds.  You may mix and match your page(s) any way you like.  As you sell a full page of ads (1 page = $50), use a single sheet of typing paper (8 ½” X 11”), place a small amount of tape on the back of the picture, business card, etc…, and tape it to the back of the paper.  (Make sure your name is on the back of each photo.)  Put contestant’s first and last name at the bottom of the page.  *Please also include a wallet-size photo for the contestant’s page!* 

Remember – All ad sales pay for the production of the pageant, judges, awards, ballroom rental, program books, etc…  Selling ads has nothing to do with how your child places in the pageant.

Signatures - $2.00 each     (25 signatures = 1 page)

¼ page - $20                         ½ page - $35                         Full Page - $50

CONTESTANT HOSPITALITY VOTES

Contestants may sell “votes” for our Hospitality contest.  Votes are $2.00 each.  Please collect names of people voting for your contestant, and put together on an 8 ½”X11” sheet of typing paper.  Please have type-set and ready to copy.  You may also include a photo of the contestant on that page.  These pages will also be included in the program book, so please be sure to include the contestant’s name at the bottom of the page.  Deadline for contestant votes is entry deadline!

Rules/Notes from Royal American Cuties Pageant System

­      We pride ourselves on running a fair and honest pageant system.  Our goal is for everyone to have fun, make friends, and to always feel like a winner!  If you enjoy our pageants, please tell others.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the director personally – as you know, second-hand information is often wrong.

­      Poor sportsmanship will NOT be tolerated!  Poor sportsmanship, whether by the contestant or the parent/guardian, will result in the disqualification of the contestant (with NO refund!).  We want everyone to have a positive experience at our pageants.  The director has the right to refuse entries or disqualify contestants based on past or present sportsmanship.

­      Fees are to be paid by money order only – cash only, the day of the pageant.  Deposits are non-refundable.  However, if you send in your deposit and then become unable to attend the pageant, we will give you a credit to the next pageant.

­      Please contact the director for rules/info. on photo taking and videoing.

­      We encourage all of our Royalty to help out at pageants, participate in activities, and make appearances.  Reigning royalty (especially State & National) should return the following year to crown their successors.

­      I have read all of the information and, by signing, I agree to all of the Rules and Regulations.  I also agree to allow my child (or myself, if contestant is over 18) to have his/her/my name and/or picture used for promotional use (on the Royal American Cuties website, paperwork, etc....) for the duration of his/her/my reign. 

­      I agree to hold harmless, release and indemnify, Janine Firment, Royal American Cuties and Crowned Cuties pageant systems, and anyone associated with this pageant, as well as the pageant location.  I release the above from any and all claims for damages, injury, and any loss in relation to this event.
