Queens For A Cure Events

*QUEENS FOR A CURE GUIDELINES - Queens for a Cure is a NATURAL pageant. However due to theater lighting, contestants ages 3-11 may wear a minimal amount of makeup and contestants 12+ may wear makeup appropriate for their age. Judges may deduct for excessive and distracting makeup in any division. Attire should be a dress of any length and style (however glitz pageant dresses are not recommended).  VERY Minimal changing area is available so all contestants should arrive almost ready to compete, a quick change of clothes should be all that is required.

*QUEENS FOR A CURE MANDATORY EVENTS - Judged on personal appearance, grooming, poise, personality and stage presence. The Queens for A Cure competition is comprised of the following TWO events: Personal Introduction - The contestant will appear in their party or formal wear attire for their personal introductions immediately proceeding their party or formal wear presentation. At the first X (see diagram below) the contestant will introduce themselves including their name, hometown and something about themselves. Personal Introductions should be approximately 30 seconds. Contestants 0-2 will be introduced by an adult (18+yrs) who will state the babies Name, Hometown and Age only.   Party wear / Formal Wear - Immediately following their personal introduction the contestant shall model their party or formal wear using the remaining 3 X's on the stage as a guide. The contestant will have approximately 60 seconds to complete their modeling presentation and should use a combination of step step turns, step backs and circle turns. Contestants 0-2 must be accompanied by an adult (18+ yrs) on stage at all times and the adult will use the remaining 3 X's on the stage to present the baby. The baby may walk or be carried depending on age and ability.
