Subject: Interesting interviews with major pageant director Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:19:58 10/26/24 Sat Author Host/IP: h107.240.22.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net/98.22.240.107 Not verbatim, but Director was asked about how the semi/finalists and winner were chosen. The answer was probably too honest. The pageant is my bread and butter - how I make my living. I am not going to trust my brand to just anyone. From the minute the contestants arrive, they are being scored. We have them for a month before the actual pageant. The executive committee meets nightly to discuss selections. This is a business. We first look at the body. If the body isn’t perfect, they don’t advance, regardless of other factors. They must be able to wear wardrobe sponsored gowns. Next is facial beauty. And have our own cosmetics line, so this is also important. Most contestants at this level have both of these. Third is brains. We run them through a series of interactions. We look at how they perform in social situations, at press conferences, on stage. This narrows the field. Finally, this is a business. We look at where she is from and consider if this is a market we want to expand to. We look at the strength and support of the national organization. We look at social media and the number of followers. We look for the best person to be the face of the organization. We run a highly impressive pageant event that is high energy and fun for the audience with many sponsors, but this is all to find our spokesmodel for our products. The winner and court travel for a year marketing our products. It is our business model.. we do use celebrity judges and give special awards based upon these and also may consider for lower rankings, but the executive committee determines top 10 and all rankings.
