Contestants we'll compete in a runway walk talent, show and public speaking Q&A' s. Judges will score each Contestant, and we will conclude the pageant with a grand Crowning Ceremony Friday night.
Our runway will consist of Contestants taking a stride down the walkway, wearing an outfit that best describes them! Show off your personality and individual style by showcasing that outfit. This can be through casual wear or formal, just choose something that best describes you!
Our Talent portion will consist of showing off your best talent, Artwork or a show and Tell Item. Each Contestants will be allowed a time slot to showcase their finest ability, confidence or creativity.
Our Q&A public speaking portion. Contestants will be asked a pre-approved question. Judges will judge Contestants on ability to speak, confidence and knowledge of the question. Don't panic each Contestant will receive a list of questions that may be asked prior to the event. This will allow them the opportunity to practice and gain the confidence we're looking for. During the Q&As Contestants must wear formal wear. Their nicest outfit they may have at home.
This event is taking place right downtown Reed City. Our permit is for the 200 block of Upton. We are inviting our Contestants to get ready and change over in the 200 block of Upton Businesses.
