Join us for Twice the Fun!

You can enter one pageant, or both. The second pageant is half price! Your beauty score will count for both pageants!  

Basic Categories are: 

4th of July = Beauty and Patriotic Wear

Eastern Elegance = Beauty and Outfit of Choice 

When you Enter Both Pageants, Here's How it will work.....

 

Pageant Entry Fees & Competitions:

✅ Cumberland County 4th of July Pageant – $90 (Basic Registration)
✔ Includes Beauty & Patriotic Wear Competitions  

✅ Option to ADD the Eastern Elegance Pageant – $45
✔ Your Beauty score will be used for both pageants, you do not need to come out on stage again for Beauty if you add the Eastern Elegance Competition. Eastern Elegance is based on your Beauty score only.  

✅ Majestic Competition Option – $50
✔ The Majestic Winner is crowned based on the highest overall score from all competitions at each show! To enter this Competition, you must enter both pageants plus Majestic! There are two guaranteed Overall Majestic Winners. In the event we have more than 20 in a Division (ages 0 -6 or 7 and up),  we will add an extra Majestic winner for more chances to WIN!  

What is Outfit of Choice?

Outfit of Choice is ANYTHING you want to model in on stage. However, it should NOT be the same as your Patriotic Wear. 

Will the pageant take much longer with two pageants going on at the same time?

  • No, It will only take a few minutes longer because all scores overlap for both pageants except for the Outfit of Choice. When you enter the Eastern Elegance Pageant, your score Beauty Score will count for both pageants. 
  • When you enter Both Pageants, you will need a Pageant dress/(formal suit or tux for boys), a Patriotic Outfit, and an Outfit of Choice (anything). 
  • When you enter Majestic, you will be added into all the other categories of competition, but you do not have to come out on stage an extra time (the categories are just added to the score sheet). All you need to do is BRING your 8x10 photo to rehearsal for the Photogenic Competition.  

If you win your agE group in the 4th of July Pageant, will you automatically win in Both Pageants?

  • Not necessarily, because Patriotic Wear Counts for the 4th of July pageant, and Outfit of Choice counts for the Eastern Elegance Pageant. It will depend on the scores. 
  • Everything counts for Majestic. 
  • You could win two titles if your scores are the highest for both pageants.

What is the Order of Competitions for the pageant?

Photogenic is Judged BEFORE the Pageant.

  • Patriotic Wear
  • Outfit of Choice  
  • Beauty Competition

The Crowing of Winners. (Stay in your pageant/formal wear for the crowing) 


Are there any Discounts?

There is a family discount. If someone in your household is also in the pageant, you get $20 off starting with the second entry.

 If one show is smaller or larger than anticipated, we reserve the right to move the show's time slightly. This could affect your show-up time on pageant day. Either way, the contestants will only compete against their original age category!  All our changes are always and only in your favor and to your advantage!  In rare cases, when this happens, we will contact you by the day after registration closes. We'll only do this to save time and efficiency for you, our audience, and judges.

For example, if we have large numbers, we could add a third pageant for the oldest age group later in the day, or your show time might be adjusted slightly. Please plan to be flexible. Remember, you will know WELL in advance if this happens.   

Notes about the pageant!

  • No one goes home empty-handed at this pageant!  
  • If you enter Majestic, we will need your photo by the Rehearsal! If you do not attend the Rehearsal, you must send your photo or arrange with Donna for it to be received before the Rehearsal. 

What are the Two Main Competitions?

The Required competitions are:

 Beauty (Formal wear) and Patriotic Wear.

Beauty is your classic pageant walk (no rountines please). Patriotic  Wear is an freestyle modeling competiion.  Routines are welcome in this phase of competition. 



If you enter Eastern Elegance, you will add Outfit of Choice and it is freestyle modeling! It does not Need to be patriotic. It can be anything! Have fun!
