How Do You Judge A Beauty Pageant?
Beauty pageants are serious business. Women who compete in them are allowing themselves to be judged and critiqued in front of an audience. Judging a beauty pageant can be a heavy responsibility. Read about the pageant. When you are asked to judge a pageant, research it. There should be a website for the pageant. Read about past winners and the pageant director. Familiarize yourself with the event and its history. Study your judges’ packet to know what to expect. It is customary for the pageant director or judges’ coordinator to send you a package of information about the contestants, the categories and the itinerary for the pageant day. If you don’t get this information at lease a week in advance, call or email to request it. Dress well on the day of the pageant. There is usually a moment in the pageant during which the host will introduce the judges. You will be seen and most likely videotaped or photographed. Business casual is sufficient, but you can also wear “After Five” attire.
