Rules and Regulations:
America's Little Miss Minnesota looks for girls with sparkling personalities. No pageant experience is necessary! Light makeup and a light "sun-kissed" tan is allowed so that girls are not washed out by stage lights, however these should be age appropriate and only enhance the child's beauty. Tanning, fake hair, fake teeth (flippers) and anything else that ages the contestant are not encouraged. This is not a glitz pageant and everything should be age appropriate.
The titles of America's Little Miss are NOT contract-binding, but you must return to the pageant next year to crown your successor. You are NOT allowed to compete in another pageant that would require you to give up your state or regional title, however, you may compete in other pageants as long as they allow you to keep your title.
Our sponsor fee is $250.00 ages 6-15 and $150 ages 0-5 and this price includes all areas of competition, age division state, regional and supreme titles along with workshops to help you prepare, pre-pageant party, goodie bag, pinkalicious competition and American Girl after party. Sponsor fees can be paid by sponsors that the contestant seeks OR by family of the contestant OR a combination of both.
A registration fee of $99 is required to register and reserve your city/county title. The $99 registration fee includes your official city crown and custom sash so you may begin making appearances seeking sponsors and HAVING FUN (please include t-shirt size along with your deposit).
Phases of Competition
Introduction & Personality (33% of total score)
*ages 0-5 do NOT compete in Introduction/Personality
Each contestant will introduce herself as follows:
"Hello, my name is.... I am... years old and I am from...."
You may also include something interesting about yourself. Introductions should be kept to 1-2 minutes in length. Introductions exceeding 2minutes will be subject to a possible point deduction.
Each contestant will wear the following attire during this segment:
o White sneakers ("white" must be the dominant color, but the sneaker can have a stripe or splash of another color)
o White socks NOT ABOVE THE KNEE
o White shorts NOT BELOW THE KNEE with a belt
o T-shirt provided America's Little Miss Organization
After each contestant introduces herself, the emcee will ask an on-stage question. Judges are looking for sparkling personalities and beautiful inner glow!
America's Fashion Modeling (33% of total score)
Each contestant will wear the official America's Little Miss logo t-shirt. (This is the same outfit she wore during the Introduction & Personality phase of competition). During this portion of the competition, the judges will be looking at each contestant's modeling abilities on stage, confidence level and overall appearance.
Formal Wear (33% of total score)
Each contestant will wear a formal gown of her choice. This is not a "glitz" pageant. The contestant should appear comfortable on stage, just as the audience should feel comfortable watching her on stage. The dress should fit well and exude her personality. Again, it needs to be age-appropriate.
Remember: Wear the dress-- don't let it wear you! Pick your favorite one so you appear comfortable on stage. During this phase, the judges will be assessing the natural beauty of each contestant in formal attire that she loves!
