All items need to be dropped off prior to registration on the day of the pageant, and each contestant will be given confirmation of the total number of the items that are counted towards their name. Phases of Competition: Competition will consist of an on-stage introduction that is judged based on community service, community involvement, stage presence and personality. Natural hair, light make-up (for older girls) and Summer Sunday Best dress (Tiny, Mini, & Little shorter dress) and Summer Sunday best dress (Junior, Young, & Miss longer dress) is appropriate. All participants must be in good academic standing and have no disciplinary issues on record.  1.  On stage introduction (community service, personality) – 50% They should come across very natural and speak with personality. Their community involvement could be related to school, church or a charity that they support in their community. 2. Walking across the stage in their sundress (poise, confidence, stage presence) – 50% - Attire is to be a type of sundress or summer type of dress (not cocktail dress)(see above description for each division). - Natural hair and light make-up.  Hair can be rolled, curled, etc. Outdoor pageant, and it will be hot! The judges will be told that this is a natural pageant so please have natural hair and make-up. This simply means not to overdo it.  Hair and make-up can be like going to a school dance (not prom). Registration is at 2:30. At that time, all Snack Pack Items will be tallied, and finalized for competition.  Each contestant will receive their contestant number at registration. Contestants will pin their number on their left side on their dress, where it is visible to judges.   When the competition begins, each age division will be called up and that group will go up on the stage all at one time as a collective line up.  They will then go off stage and come back on individually as the emcee introduces you. You will simply step up on the stage and introduce yourself in the microphone. Keep it short and simple and remember that the judges are looking for personality.  You will then walk in a standard “T” formation as the emcee talks about what is on your paper. We will show this walking pattern prior to the competition. Once you have walked, the emcee will thank you by stating, “Thank you Contestant Number…”.  You will then walk off stage.  Once each division is completed, there will be a short intermission so the judges can tally the scores. Thank you so much for being a part of this year’s “Bringing Back Tradition” pageant and best of luck to each contestant. Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you on September 7, 2025. Jennifer Bost Cabarrus County Fair Pageant Director Jennifer.bost30@gmail.com 704-517-0125
