What are Miss pageants?

how to prepare for a pageantMiss pageants are the most popular age category
Miss pageants are the most popular age category of pageant competition because this it is when, generally speaking, contestants are at the prime age and mentality for competing. Pageant prizes in the Miss category can range from money to modeling contracts, and in some cases big scholarship awards, so generally speaking miss contestants have the most to gain in terms of the whole pageant experience regardless of whether they take home the crown.

Miss pageants teach skills and provide experience to benefit contestants far beyond pageantry. Successful participants in miss level contests have said that through pageant preparation they acquired knowledge of accounting, marketing, interviewing, socialization, public speaking, presenting, and many other skills during the process. Others note that pageant participation can lead to an enlightenment or change in career path, increased educational options, and the ability to land a job.

All pageant systems have their own unique sets of rules, but here are some general guidelines that apply when it comes to pageants for "miss" level contestants:
  • Age range is somewhere between 17 to 28 years old.
  • Contestants must be single, never been married and with no children.
  • Pageants in the U.S. typically ask for proof of residency or school registry in the state where the contest is held.

Popular Miss Pageant Systems

The most popular pageants tend to be the ones which have the most to offer contestants and titleholders. Worldwide, there are a handful of international systems known as the "big four" that have been established as the most prestigious.
The International Big Four Pageants are:
  • Miss Universe
  • Miss World
  • Miss Earth
  • Miss International
In addition to the big four, the United States is home to many national competition organizations that have long thrived in the popular pageant category, along with some newer pageants where contestants truly enjoy competing.

Some of the most popular multi-level and U.S. national miss pageants are:
  •     Miss America
  •     Miss Tourism
  •     National American Miss
  •     Miss Galaxy

For every national and international system, there are dozens more local, regional, and state pageants in which to compete. Depending on your interests and level of experience, finding a contest to enter should be fairly easy at the miss level because it is the most popular type of pageant contest based on age range and popularity not only for contestants but for the audience, sponsors, and charities that benefit from the publicity and entertainment value that miss pageants are best known for providing.

Preparing for a Miss Pageant

best way to prepare for miss pageantIt's imperative for miss contestants to arrive prepared
As one of the most popular categories, Miss pageant competitions are some of the most competitive. So if you are competing in one, it's imperative that you prepare as much as possible prior to the final competition. Even if it's a smaller venue with less entrants, you can bet on at least a few of the contestants being polished and ready to win - and you should be as well.

The best way to prepare for a miss pageant is to understand the competition categories and take steps to prepare for each one - both individually and collectively as a whole. A good pageant coach or consultant can help you work on the areas where the most improvement is needed.

If the time you are able to work with a coach is limited, or if you are a beginner looking for help with DIY pageant preparation then our tools, resources, and books can help prepare you for what to expect when competing in a beauty pageant.
