PAGEANT PREP FAQs
HOW CAN BUSINESSES, FRIENDs & FAMILY CONTRIBUTE TO MY SPONSOR FEE?
There are two ways sponsors can contribute to your sponsor fee.
1. Sponsors can write you a check. You will then bring that check to the pageant prep.
Checks should be made out to "National American Miss"
2. Sponsors can make payments online using a credit card at TBD.
WHAT TO BRING
1. First of all, please bring a positive attitude and be ready to make new friends. At the pageant prep, you will be meeting the other State Finalists from your area who will be attending the pageant!
2. Next, you will bring the first half of your sponsor fee. The first half of your sponsor fee is $325. We will be accepting cash, checks, money orders, or major credit/debit cards at the pageant prep training session. Remember, your Open Call magazine has a helpful guide for sponsors. There are tools below that you can download to assist you when you talk to potential sponsors.
3. Finally, we will be teaching you stage and modeling techniques at the pageant prep training session, so if you wish, you can bring a pair of dress shoes to practice in, similar to the pair that you may wear in the pageant. Anyone can wear flats at the pageant, there is no rule that older girls or anyone for that matter wear heels. However, for Princess, Jr. Pre-Teen & Pre-Teen shoes should be small heels or flats that complement your dress. The younger age divisions should not be wearing big heels.
