Private Interview with judges (35%)

​

The first phase is a private 10 minute interview with the judges and each contestant.  They will be assessing your ability to think fast under pressure, so speak clearly and quickly to show them you have what it takes to hold the position of titleholder.

​

Runway (25%)

​

This phase will assess how you present yourself, how well you walk, how much poise you have and what type of an image you radiate.  Think of how you would present yourself at a party or event, where you would go out with friends.  This is your time to glam up and shine!  Wear your best outfit and go all out.

​

On-Stage Interview (15%)

​

This phase will determine each contestant's ability to respond under pressure.  Judges will try to catch each candidate off-guard to see how they handle it.  The topics can range from the candidate's current job to current events, so be ready to think on your toe and be ready for whatever the judges may throw at you,  This is critical for contestants, because it will help determine how they might respond to media questions.

​

The Red Carpet (25%) 

​

Also known as the Evening Gown Competition.  Each contestant will be judged on how they present themselves in formal wear.  This will show the judges how you would appear formally, how graceful and comfortable you are, How you would interact with a crowd and cameras, and what type of an image you present overall.
