Couples from around the country will be gathering together in Florida, August of 2008 to compete for the first annual PERFECT COUPLE COMPETITON!
Founded by Pam Bolter, long-time pageant veteran, Bolter plans to highlight married couples … celebrating married life, family, community, and what it takes to keep a marriage alive in the 21st century.
Bolter states, “There are so many competitions out there for women (pageants) and men (sports related) – but where are the competitions to celebrate marriage? I am hoping to bring joy, insight and hope to couples, young and old; to celebrate marriage at every stage of our lives!”
Couples will meet in Central Florida in August and will compete in the following categories:
1) Interview
Conference Style / 7 minutes per couple; each sub-category will be worth up to 10 points for a total of 50 points in interview alone
1) Personal Appearance as a Couple
2) Poise and Communication
3) Shared Values
4) Goals, shared and individual
5) Interaction (this is based on how each individual in the team interacts with their spouse AND the judges!)
2) Introduction of Delegates on Stage (i.e., Opening Number)
Up to 30 seconds for couple intro; each sub-category will be worth up to 10 points for a total of 30 points)

Each couple selects a sportswear that reflects something they like doing together ... it can be anything from bike riding, golfing, hiking, swimming, working out, yoga, surf boarding, roller blading, etc; this is a very open area of competition and gives the couple a chance to express themselves. (Each sub-category will be worth up to 10 points for a total of 30 points); you will have up to 30 seconds to "work" the stage; utilizing the microphone is optional)
1) How attire reflects both team members

Extra Credit Points (optional)
Each couple may present their Memory Book for up to 10 pts of "extra credit".

All books will be returned to you after your interview is complete. In addition to scoring bonus points, the following titles will be awarded from this extra credit portion:
* Most Supportive Couple * Most Inspirational Couple * Most Spirited Couple
Tie Breaking Rule
In the event of a tie, Auditor will go back to the Interview Score; should tie remain, then on to Sportswear, Opening Number and Evening Wear. Should all these efforts not resolve the tie(s), then each tied couple will have one question to answer on stage; judges will then rank the tied couple(s) in the order that they feel they should win (1 being the winner, 2 would be for second placements, 3rd third placement).
1= (10 points); 2 = (5 points), 3 = (2 points)
