Pageants Guidelines
INTERVIEW (ALL DIVISIONS):
You will meet with the official panel of judges for a one on one 5 minute interview. Junior Miss contestants will meet with the official panel of judges for a 3 minute one on one interview. A professional business suit is the attire for the Interview competition. You are interviewing for the job as a California International titleholder. You are not going to a cocktail party; therefore, your look should be fresh for daytime, contemporary, stylized and age appropriate. Your make-up should be light and your hairstyle should be cutting edge and age appropriate for today. Your jewelry should be kept to a minimum. Panty hose are optional.
FUN FASHION WEAR (JUNIOR, TEEN & MISS):
The Fashion wear presentation is a modeling segment of the competition. The contestant's outfit should be something that she would wear to an upscale event, fashion show or New Year’s Eve Gala. This should reflect your personality and be something that shows off your flair for fashion and style.

Teen and Miss contestants are required to wear the 2 piece choices and the Mrs. contestants have the choice to wear the one piece unitard or 2 piece fitness wear.
EVENING GOWN (ALL DIVISION’S):
A floor length evening gown of your own style and color should be worn. Judges will be instructed to look for sense of style, confidence, stage presence and carriage, how she wears the gown and not the gown itself, poise and grace. Your evening gown should be age appropriate. This is the face and grace portion of our pageant.
