So, I was contacted by this pageant to send a girl...although Miss Canada Globe claims to be their national director LOL...I said sure let me look into things and we'll work something out. I know they dont have the best reputation or track record on the international front and have 5 or 6 girls in their pageant annually, but they are a young pageant so I thought I would give them a chance, I am not one to take to listening to rumours, I am a free thinker and form my own opinions. I also have a great many contacts in Trinidad & Tobago which is the host country so I thought, great time to go and network and the girls would be safe if anything went weird because I would be there, so no harm, no foul right?
I asked for a directorship agreement, license contract, some sort of documentation that clarifies me as the director especially since MCG is claiming to be the director and I know that in the past this pageant has awarded national directorships to more than 1 person and caused a lot of grief (they blame everyone but themselves for this). They told me they couldn't send me anything until I sent them a name and photo of the delgate. Ok, well usually there is an agreement as to the directorship before the delegate is chosen however I sent them a name and photo, with the express instruction that it not appear on their website until documentation is in place and asked again for a contract, paperwork, something to show she was going to be the exclusive delegate and that the Canadian directorship would be exclusively mine...they said they can't provide it. What!?!?! Its your pageant but you cant provide an agreement to national directors? I asked for an entry form....they can't even provide that!!! Really????
They email everyone begging for delegates and this year the pageant is apparently free (the main reason I was following up with it lol) but they want $1500 from each person to come and participate (so they want directors to pay to chaperone their own girls...any decent pageant supplies chaperones and doesnt charge them!!!!) Last year it was $2000 USD but they postponed the pageant, they said it was due to the 'state of emergency in trinidad & tobago'....the state of emergency is limited to high crime areas and in direct relation to drug/gang activity...ummm where were they planning on taking these girls!?!?! i think its a convenient lie because they actually had no delegates entered. There are a bunch of pictures on their website (that looks like it was made by an 8 year old) but no names of delegates, no info on them, the photos could have come from anywhere and dont mean that the girls depicted were ever really registered!
This year they are claiming that the entry fee is free due to government sponsorship....but they won't tell me what branch of government is sponsoring it, nothing on the website either, if a government is sponsoring an event like this there will be a ton of press and a lot of media attention both good and bad, so I call BS on that too. There are too many red flags so I am pulling the plug on any sort of participation or connection to it. They can continue to deal with MCG since they both seem to be in the same category of lame and bogus pageants.
So be warned....if you are offered the chance to go to Miss Teen Worldwide....if I were you I would stay far away, there are far more legit and reputable pageants out there!
