Date Posted: 01/15/08 8:06pm In reply to: No Name 's message, "In a state with no prelims. I have to go at large!" on 11/29/07 9:51pm A guide to pageants for competitors in the Ms/Mrs. categories. Miss category information is included where the Miss Division allows contestants beyond the age of 25. I love pageants and want to help others find a pageant system that best fits them. We all should support all pageants and enjoy the personal improvement that come from a competitive and fun environment. Over $1500 for Entry Fee: Mrs. America Website: www.mrsamerica.com. Entry Fee: Need to win a state pageant; At-large is rare due to large number of state pageants Hotel Cost: Usually held at nice hotels, plan for $150 Length: Two Weeks (?); August September 2008 Location: Arizona (?) Competition Categories: Interview (facial beauty judged during interview), Gown, Swimsuit Overall Reputation: This is a very competitive pageant and it is extremely difficult to predict the top ten. Brains and accomplishments will help, but you need to be a fabulous stage contestant and have a warm and personable interview to really have a good chance of doing well. Ms. U.S. Globe Married, divorced, with children; over 26 if single Website: www.mrsglobe.com. Entry Fee: $2000 Hotel Cost: Included in Entry Fee when rooming with another delegate.

The winner is invested in their platforms. This pageant is not for those that do not care to devote a great deal of time to a platform. Mrs. United States - married Website: www.mrsunitedstates.com. Entry Fee: $2300 (Entry + Ad Page) (?) Many state pageants offered, so few contestants pay for the at-large entry. Hotel Cost: approx $100 per night (possibly less) - cost for your family; contestant hotel is paid with entry fee. Length: 4-5 days (?); July 2007 Location: Las Vegas Competition Categories: Interview (34%), Gown (33%), Swimsuit (33%) Overall Reputation: My friends loved their experience.
