Contestant numbers will be assigned in reverse order. The first application, accompanied by entry fee and photo, received by the director, will be the last contestant of the division. Entry fees and wallet head shot photo must accompany application. Contestants will compete in the age division they qualify to be in as of the day of the pageant. This pageant is open to all surrounding counties. No cameras or video cameras are allowed. We will have an official photographer and videographer. Queens will receive a cash award at the end of their reign provided they have fulfilled all their obligations. Any Princess whose conduct is deemed unbecoming by the Miss Tift County Pageant will be asked to withdraw from the pageant. Parents are responsible for the conduct of their child during the pageant. Any conduct from a contestant that is considered rude, unruly or disrespectful, whether to another contestant, a Committee member or other persons will result in her immediate elimination from this pageant and no refund will be given. No refunds unless the director cancels the pageant. Baby, Teeny, Tiny, Little & Petite Miss will be scored a 1 to 10 on personality, beauty, poise, gown and overall appearance. Tiny, Little Miss & Petite Miss will have an on stage question pertaining to the questions on their application. Please elaborate and use more than 2 words on the answers so we can help your child do her best. There will be no practice session before the pageant. The contestants will walk the basic T. Enter from contestant’s left at the back of the stage. Continue to front center, stop and turn, proceed to the contestant’s right, stop and turn, go back to the center of the stage, stop and turn, then proceed to the left of the stage by the podium. (Tiny, Little & Petite Miss will have their question at this time). Go back to the center of the stage, stop and turn, then proceed to the back center of stage where the contestant came in. Exit to contestant’s right. At the back center you may do a universal turn if so desire. There are 3 parades that I ask for you to participate in by riding the Miss Tift County Float: Peter Pan Parade in Sylvester on October 17, 2009; Sweet Potato Parade in Ocilla on October 31, 2009 at 10am and the Tifton Hometown Holidays Parade on December 5, 2009 at 5pm. There will be a $45.00 fee for all returned checks. Miss Tift County Queens are role models for other females in the community and are expected to present themselves with poise, grace and intelligence at all times. Accordingly, contestants will be prohibited from entering the pageant if they have ever been married, pregnant or charged with a crime. Further, if a Queen exhibits behavior unbecoming of the title during her reign, the title may be forfeited, along with the cash award. The title and case award will then be awarded to the first runner-up in that age group. Such behavior shall include, but is not limited to pregnancy, fighting, being charged with a crime, or marriage.
