International Pageant
THE COMPETITIONS:
INTERNATIONAL PAGEANT COMPETITION:
The International Pageant consists of three competitions for the Jr. Princess, Princess & Pre-Teen Divisions:
Interview, Personal Introduction & Formal Wear/Evening Gown Competition.
The International Pageant consists of four competitions for the Jr. Teen, Teen & Miss Divisions:
Interview, Personal Introduction, Fun Fashion & Formal Wear/Evening Gown Competition.
Interview: The Interview Competition is a great time to let the
judges know just why they should pick you as the next International
Junior Miss International Queen. Our judges are warm and friendly.
The judges would like to see a kid being a kid, and a teen who
enjoys being a teenager.
Miss delegates will have the opportunity to speak a little bit
more about their plans for the future. There are no political,
religious or text book questions. The judges just want to get to know
who you are! Delegates should wear a nice dress or two piece suit
for this competition. The interview schedule will be provided at
registration. You will need to be downstairs and in line for your interview
at least 15 minutes prior to your groups scheduled interview. If you are
late for your interview, there is a minimum deduction of 2 points per judge.
You will enter the interview competition in a group of three.
Each delegate will give an introduction of no more than 25 seconds (see personal introduction section).
SAMPLE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS . . . . .

Personal Introduction: Your personal introduction will be presented during the
interview competition and should be very fun and up-beat. The introduction should

royalty was invited to attend a Red-Carpet event in Los Angels,
California in honor of Kaitlyn Bruce, the International Miss, for her
Supermodel Magazine Cover. Each delegate will model an outfit
of her own choosing. It must be age appropriate, and it should
portray the delegates personal sense of style and fashion. It can
be as simple or ornate as you would like. No denim jeans or high
