Judging Criteria

All preliminary phases of competition are added and the contestants with the highest average scores become the semifinalists. Semifinalists will be determined by the total number of contestants in the competition. The most common for our pageant is the Top 15 semifinalists.   Scoring is based on the following:

​

• Interview: Panel of judges learn about her successes, talents, goals, and ambitions. Preliminary interviews are conducted individually in a private and closed setting in front of the judges. Two-minute interview with the panel of 5 judges. Contestants are scored on their communication skills and personality. 

​

• Swimsuit: (Miss) Beauty of face, figure, physical fitness, stage presence, and confidence are the main focus.  It is important to see how she carries herself on stage. There is no perfect body type! Preferred solid color. You can add decorations such as rhinestones or beads. The swimsuit must be made of Swimsuit material.

​

• Sportswear: (Teen) Must wear an appropriate sports fabric with proper lining on stage. It can be a top and a bottom. The bottom must be in the form of shorts. No leggings or long sports pants allowed. The top must be sleeveless and can be a tank that either can show the stomach or long top that connects to the bottom. Basically, you can show your midrib. All contestants must purchase the sportswear from our organization to ensure that the price is low and that all the contestants are wearing the same wardrobe as far as sportswear.

​

• Evening Gown: Each contestant wears a gown of her choice. Attention is focused on each contestant’s overall appearance, self-confidence, and beauty. It is important to have grace, poise, style, stage presence, and overall impression. She is not judged on the cost of her gown or who designed it but rather how confident she is. Judges are instructed to evaluate the contestant, not the dress she is wearing. The length of the gown must touch the floor.

​

• Final Question: The Top 5 question is where each of the top 5 will answer one question by choosing a question from the bowl written by one of the judges. Be aware that Teen's top 5 Questions will NOT have political questions. Miss will have all sorts of questions.
