  • Community organizations, churches, and nonprofits

When approaching potential sponsors:

  • Call ahead and set up an appointment

  • Dress professionally when presenting your sponsorship request

Sponsors will receive recognition in our program book and on our website, and businesses can receive tax deductions for their contributions.

No prior pageant experience is required. Our program is designed to be an inclusive and supportive experience for contestants of all backgrounds.

Interview Format

The national pageant interview follows a panel-style format across all divisions.
