Judging Criteria

This Organization is very different from other pageant systems. Why, it’s because our contestants will not be judged on physical appearance, body, frame, or physique, nor do we have a swimsuit competition. Our contestant’s personality, motivation, and character also matter. We want our contestants to be confident, positive, and self-assured as they are not judged on physical appearance. The optional awards are just additional awards only. It is not a requirement for the crown but you will need to still participate, you just wont be considered for an award.
