She didn't compete at the state pageant and was a title holder in the Miss New Hampshire program until 12/28. Then the director handed her a crown and did not advertise the pageant or hold a competition. This same director did this last year with Grace Orfao who won talent at the national pageant. She does not qualify. You are making up your own rules. If the girl won she would be 20 yrs old when she gives up her title. -- Miss Volunteer America Pageant

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Miss NH Teen Volunteer was "appointed" on 12/28 when she was 19 yrs old and the day after she gave up her Miss NH local crown. There are such lies being told. This is a talented girl who is being misled by her director who trying to cheat the rules. She turned 19 yrs old on 11/20/22 and was "appointed" 12/28/22. She is ineligible. This is unfair to my teen who meets all the eligibility criteria.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Without a pageant, the date she was appointed- handed a crown- declared the state rep- did the paperwork- is really up to the Director. You know that if Vol had declared her their state rep in Nov when they intended to have their pageant, NH MAO would have not allowed her to crown her successor in Dec. This is a teenager. You're asking her to forgo the memory of being the outgoing queen and handing down her crown to satisfy a technicality.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: The ED followed the spirit of the rule, allowing the Teen to have her day, and she qualify by being 18yo prior to when they intended to hold a pageant. I know this doesn't sit well but it's the nature of pageants. I'm sorry it's this way and your daughter wasn't selected.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: This is flat wrong. We inquired of the pageant and were told there would not be one. My daughter qualifies in age. So just skip the pageant when you have girls that qualify and want to compete and then pick a 19 year old that does not qualify. Allison would never allow this.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: This is false. The Director reached out to multiple dance & voice studios to find contestants. No one was turned away.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: The Director intended to hold a state pageant, so used those eligibility rules (#2). Let's be realistic- Directors get plenty of inquiries but without enough girls actually entered in time, it doesn’t make sense to incur the costs of holding a pageant. So technically, NH defaulted to an at-large state and eligibility rule #3.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I’m just following logic here- When there wasn’t enough interest to hold the pageant, the State Director went with the girl she had, who was eligible. It seems you're upset because you feel your daughter deserved to be appointed the title on a technicality because the Director held off on announcing and awarding the crown so the Teen could give her MAO crown down.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Finally, you say Allison would never allow this. To my disappointment, it seems Allison wasn't very discriminating with who she licensed state pageants to. She put the national structure in place, runs a FANTASTIC show, but it seems she's neglected the business side of it with the states. I'm sorry- unfortunately this situation is a technicality.
