Our 2nd annual Miss Hollywood's Outstanding Teen Pageant will be Saturday and Sunday, January 28 and 29, 2012. A link to the Teen Preliminary Entry Form is on the home page of the web site. We are now accepting entries for next year's competition.

We are now a Statewide Open pageant, accepting contestants from throughout the state of California. We have Orientation scheduled for Sunday, November 13. Meeting begins at 10 am and should conclude by 1pm. Orientation is held at the Radisson Hotel at LAX, 6225 W. Century Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90045. Check the hotel directory for the room assignment.

Only 3 meetings are required: contestant orientation (approximately 2-4 hours), 1 day for rehearsal and interviews (approximately 9 hours total), and 1 day for final competition (approximately 9 hours total). See schedule above for all meeting dates.
 

There is a $100 non-refundable entry fee for all contestants. The only potential contestants who can receive refunds are those who enter and win another Outstanding Teen local pageant between the January 5 entry deadline and the January 28 start of competition.

We also require each contestant contribute a $250 ad sponsorship. Keep in mind that a sponsor does not have to be a single business or person. For example, 10 friends could contribute $25 each to generate the $250 ad sponsorship. Or you could sell a page with 10 business card-size ads for $25 each. Sponsorship payments can be made in cash, checks or money orders, or using credit cards through PayPal in the Sponsorship section of this web site. NOTE: Business ad sponsors may deduct their ad contribution as a business expense. However, we are not a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation.

Orientation will be held for all interested contestants. It is strongly encouraged that you attend if you have never competed in the Outstanding Teen pageant system before, because we will provide a lot of valuable information about the program and the areas of competition that you are not likely to be familiar with yet.

Parents are enthusiastically invited to the meeting, but they are not required to be there.

We will discuss important background information about the pageant, what the judges look for in each of the competitions and tips on sponsorship fundraising. Additionally, upon request, we will provide feedback to individuals on elements of their competition (e.g., paperwork, talent selections, wardrobe choices, etc.)

Personal Interview (35% of total score)
Each contestant participates in an individual 8-minute press conference-style interview with our panel of judges. There are typically 5 to 7 judges on a panel. Contestants are questioned on their background as presented on their fact sheet, their educational and career goals, their opinions on current events and social issues, and their interests, hobbies and extracurricular activities. Scoring is based on overall communication skills, including speech, vocabulary and grammar; a confident and charismatic personality, ability to express and distinguish beliefs; attractive and stylish in an age-appropriate manner (no interview suits allowed!) leadership and sense of accomplishment, and knowledge and understanding of her platform issue.

Complete Entry Packets with required forms are now available. Complete the Preliminary Entry Form to receive your packet.

How you can help--
1) Your $250 ad sponsorship
2) Ticket sales - I will accept ticket pre-orders and would appreciate knowing your plans for ticket orders prior to rehearsal, if possible. Pre-ordered and pre-paid tickets will be held at Will Call at the box office, in your name. No tickets will be mailed, just to be safe.
3) Raffle ticket sales. The 50/50 raffle awards 50% of the money raised to the winner, with the other 50% supporting the pageant's scholarship fund and titleholder preparation for Miss California. There will be a separate raffle for gift cards and other miscellaneous items.
