Rules and Regulations:
At America's Little Miss Minnesota, we seek girls with sparkling personalities—no pageant experience necessary! Light makeup and a subtle "sun-kissed" tan are allowed to ensure contestants aren’t washed out by stage lights. However, these should always be age-appropriate and enhance, rather than alter, the child’s natural beauty. Tanning, fake hair, fake teeth (flippers), or anything that ages the contestant is discouraged. This is not a glitz pageant, and everything should remain age-appropriate.
Titles and Participation:
The titles of America's Little Miss are not contract-binding, but winners must return to the following year’s pageant to crown their successor. Contestants may not compete in another pageant that would require them to relinquish their state or regional title, but are welcome to participate in other pageants as long as they do not conflict with keeping their current title.
Sponsor Fees:
The sponsor fee is $250 for ages 6-15 and $150 for ages 0-5. This fee covers all competition areas, including state, regional, and supreme titles, as well as workshops to help you prepare, a pre-pageant party, goodie bag, Pinkalicious competition, and the American Girl after party. Sponsor fees can be paid by sponsors that the contestant secures, the contestant’s family, or a combination of both.
Registration Fee:
A $99 registration fee is required to secure your city/county title. This fee includes your official city crown and custom sash, so you can begin making appearances, seeking sponsors, and most importantly, having fun! (Please remember to include your t-shirt size when submitting the deposit.)
Phases of Competition
Introduction & Personality (33% of Total Score)
Contestants ages 0-5 do not participate in the Introduction/Personality phase.
Each contestant will introduce herself by saying:
"Hello, my name is [name]. I am [age] years old, and I am from [hometown]."
You may also share something interesting about yourself. Introductions should be kept to 1-2 minutes. Introductions exceeding 2 minutes may incur a point deduction.
Attire for Introduction & Personality:
- White sneakers (white must be the dominant color; sneakers may have a stripe or splash of another color)
- White socks (not above the knee)
- White shorts (not below the knee) with a belt
- Official America's Little Miss T-shirt
America's Fashion Modeling (33% of Total Score)
For this portion, contestants will wear the same official America's Little Miss T-shirt worn during the Introduction & Personality phase. Judges will evaluate each contestant’s modeling abilities, stage presence, confidence, and overall appearance.
Formal Wear (33% of Total Score)
Contestants will wear a formal gown of their choice. This is not a "glitz" pageant, so contestants should feel comfortable and natural on stage. The dress should fit well, reflect the contestant’s personality, and be age-appropriate.
Tip: Wear the dress, don’t let it wear you! Choose a gown you love and feel comfortable in, so you shine with confidence. During this phase, judges will focus on the contestant’s natural beauty and how well she carries herself in formal attire.
Optional competitions are available to ALL contestants for a nominal fee
