The Zucchinifest pageant is open to any child whose legal address is within the boundaries of the Hamilton Local School District or Groveport Madison School District. You don’t have to attend either school to participate; but your house must be within one of those two school district boundaries. For example, if you attend Madison Christian but live in Fairchild Estates, you live in the boundary of the Groveport Madison School District, so you are eligible.

Proof of age and residency are required to participate in the pageant. When entering, a copy of a current utility bill or lease in the parent or guardian’s name and a copy of the contestant’s birth certificate must be provided.

THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 2025. Late entries will not be accepted.
