Frequently Asked Questions
You've asked, we answer! Check out some FAQ's to get you started with Belle.
1What are the criteria for judging?
Judging at our Tropical Christmas Pageant revolves around three key elements, each scored out of 10 for a potential perfect score of 30:
Facial Beauty: The first aspect focuses on the contestants' facial features, highlighting natural beauty and poise.
Personality: We value contestants who radiate charisma and confidence, showcasing their unique personalities throughout the competition.
Stage Presence & Overall Appearance: The final component focuses on how well contestants carry themselves on stage, along with the overall harmony of their appearance in line with the tropical Christmas theme.
With these three criteria, our judges ensure a fair ground for all participants. There will be no + scoring or tie breaks. If a tie occurs, both individuals will be pictured with the sash and will be shipped one following the event.
2What is the entry fee, and what does it cover?
The all-in registration price is $295. That includes Evening Wear, Tropical Christmas Wear, all titles listed on the paperwork. That does NOT include jackpots and our poster model search. Our jackpots are Swimwear Showdown and Photogenic.
3Are there prizes for winners, and what do they include?
All Belle royalty will receive a custom crown, sash and prize package. Our Top 3 titles will receive cash on stage.
4Can I bring guests to the pageant?
Guests are welcome to attend Belle! Due to the parking fee at the venue, we will not be charging admission to attend this event so invite your friends and family to come spend the day and cheer on your superstar!
5What's Naturally Polished?
At our Tropical Christmas Pageant, we embrace a 'Naturally Polished' style, allowing contestants to enhance their beauty with elements like fake hair, makeup, teeth, and tans. However, the emphasis remains on preserving and complementing each contestant's natural beauty, ensuring that these enhancements harmonize without overshadowing their inherent radiance. For example: a dark black smokey eye on a 6 year old would not be recommended for a naturally polished look.
