Competition Details

Runway Modeling: The runway portion of competition is the time for the contestant to show off their personality with an outfit that reflects their style. This can be cocktail attire or a fashion forward outfit. Modeling should be natural in style but upbeat. A walking map is enclosed at the end of the packet.

Evening Gown: Most pageant gowns are acceptable. Short dresses are acceptable for Tiny Miss but a long gown is encouraged. Long gowns are required for ages 6+. A walking map is enclosed at the end of the packet.

Private Interview: Interview will be conducted by a panel and will be approx. 3-4 mins in length. Most questions will be derived from the Bio sheet



you will turn in with registration. Attire should be stylish, age appropriate, and comfortable. Makeup is allowed for interview. Tiny Miss and Little Miss will sit for interview. Junior Miss/PreTeen/Junior Teen will stand.

Talent: No one expects a professional talent, as girls this age are just discovering what they like and learning the skills needed to perform their talents. For some, talent is their favorite part… for others it can be the source of anxiety! If your contestant has never competed in talent or feels she is still trying to work out her talent, don’t be discouraged by this portion of competition because it truly is meant to be an opportunity to “try” and more often times than not, they are right on par with the other contestants’ skill levels!

Time must be 90 seconds or less. No duplicate talents will be accepted per age division. If there are duplicate talents or very similar talents, we will accept the one who registered first. Those using the same song but different talents will be accepted. For example, “Shake It Off” with a lyrical dance and “Shake It Off” with a tap dance would be accepted. Two lyricals to “Shake It Off” would not be accepted. **Talent Music needs to be emailed by May 15th unless other arrangements are made. Please see note on the talent form how to label talent music.

On Stage Question: Questions will be your standard age appropriate questions. Questions will not be given ahead of time. These are not meant to stump or confuse the contestant, simply meant for the audience to get to know her better since we do not get to sit in on private interview. This will be done in evening gown.

Hair and Makeup: Age appropriate and a natural appearance is stressed. If you choose to use makeup on Tiny Miss and Little Miss contestants it needs to be light and natural looking. Of course PreTeens will have more leniency on wearing more makeup than Tiny Miss. The judges are notified of this, however, it is still up to the judge’s discretion to deduct points if they feel makeup is too heavy or not.

Opening Number: Opening Number is always a non-scored, simply choreographed, portion of the show. Contestants will be shown at rehearsal what they are doing. They will introduce themselves with only “Name and Local Title”. Contestants will wear their Runway Attire.

Optional Competitions

Optional competitions are simply an extra opportunity to compete in various ways. These competitions have no effect on your main competition score



and will be scored by a separate panel of judges. Some of these competitions have separate entry fees, but some are free! Please make sure to double check you include all required paperwork/materials for the areas you choose to compete in.

Tiny Miss and Little Miss Talent ($25): The same rules apply as stated earlier about talent. 90 seconds max. Please submit music via email by May 15th.

Photogenic ($20/per photo): Each contestant can enter unlimited photogenic entries. This is a natural pageant, and glitzy styled and overly photo-shopped photos usually do not fare well with judges. Winners are selected per age division. There will be 1 overall winner per pageant as well. (Photos are turned in at registration.)

Photogenic Portfolio ($25): A portfolio entry will consist of 5-7 different modeling photos of the contestant. The portfolio should be a mix of headshot and full body images. Winners are selected per age division. There will be 1 overall winner per pageant as well. (Portfolios are turned in at registration.)

Junior Miss, PreTeen Miss, and Junior Teen Academic Achievement (Free): There is a form to fill out to showcase the contestant’s academic achievement. Supplemental documentation is allowed and encouraged. There will be 1 winner per division. (Supplemental materials will be submitted at registration.)

Outstanding Community Service Award (Free): There is a form to fill out to showcase the contestant’s outstanding commitment to community service. Using your title and crown to give back and uplift others is at the heart of pageantry and we want to recognize those who fulfill those duties. There will be 1 winner per division.

People’s Choice Award ($1 per vote): One girl per pageant will be crowned the people’s choice winner. This will be decided upon the voters! Each vote costs $1 and will be open for voting on June 1st until the awards ceremonies. Winner’s receive a crown, trophy, and flowers. Votes can be cast on PayPal by donating any amount and writing the contestant’s name in the comments section. Votes can be made in person all pageant weekend as well.

Cover Girl Model: The inside cover girl model will be awarded based on a Facebook voting system. Each contestant will have the opportunity to submit a photo and the contestant with the most likes from May 5th-15th will win the inside cover! Info for this contest will be sent out closer to the date.

Other Information

Judges: We strive for fairness and look for the highest quality of judges with experience and with no known personal connections to any particular contestants. The director has no say in the scoring and there is a separate tabulator for scoring. With this being said, all results are final unless the winner is unable to fulfill her duties. Please do not contact judges after the pageant. All questions should be directed to the director.

Scoresheets: We will not be returning score sheets anymore. It seems this has caused more distress than help in the past. The director will try to offer constructive feedback, if requested, in a timely manner but please don't expect immediate feedback.

Photography/Videography: There will be an official photographer and videographer on site. We will notify you of their options for purchase once they are available. Photography and Videography are allowed and we encourage you to share pictures and Facebook Live the events!



Dressing Room Info: Only 1 person per child will be allowed backstage to help contestants change. That person is not allowed on the side of the stage, they must exit and watch the pageant from the audience once the child is ready for each phase of competition. Your child will be well attended to by our seasoned staff. Please sit in the audience and enjoy the pageant! For everyone’s sanity, these rules will be strictly enforced!

All hair and makeup artists charging fees for services will be set up in a separate classroom and will be charged $50 for a set up fee. These will be only for hair and makeup purposes. You are to keep all of your wardrobe and personal belongings in the designated contestant dressing room and change in that room.NO PHOTOS IN THE DRESSING ROOM PLEASE TO PROTECT CONTESTANT PRIVACY!

Little Miss Kentucky ContractMAIL 1 COPY

I certify that, ____________________________, will compete with integrity and a good sportsmanlike attitude. The information provided here is all factual and her age is truthful. I understand that any foul behavior, speech, or actions can result in disqualification without reimbursement, this includes on the internet.

I understand this is a non-refundable competition once the deadline has passed. If for whatever reason you cannot compete, a 50% refund will be issued before the deadline of May 15th. No refunds will be issued after the deadline.

In the event my daughter wins a title she will fulfill her duties to the utmost ability including appearances, photo shoots, community service activities, and at official Miss Kentucky events. If for whatever reason she can not fulfill the duties (which is up to the director’s discretion and unlikely), I understand the title may be given to the 1st Runner up. Foul behavior from the titleholder, parent, or people associated with the titleholder while at public appearances has a zero tolerance policy and can result in forfeiture of title.

The crown and sash are property of Royal Arts until the end of the titleholder’s reign. After that it belongs to the titleholder. If for whatever reason the contestant’s title is revoked, the crown and sash must be returned and if unable to do so, you will be billed for the cost to replace them.

I vow to not contact judges to discuss scores and results. I understand scores and results are final unless a technical error has occurred with tabulating. I understand all questions, comments, and concerns should be addressed with the Director and/or staff of the pageant.
