During Self-Introduction, each participant introduces themselves to the audience, promoting their communication skills and public speaking. In this required category, participants can say as much or as little about themselves as they would like. They can share their ambitions, favorite color, pet's names, etc. For participants that are nonverbal, the emcee will anounce them while the participant is on stage.

Attire for Self-Introduction is Sunday Best, but remember we want everyone to be comfortable as well!

On-stage interview, which is rolled into self-introduction, allows participants to practice communication skills, speaking skills, and interview skills. Participants are asked two to three fairly simple questions about themselves. Examples include their favorite class, hobbies, or what they want to be when they grow up.

For nonverbal participants, this portion can be waived. Additionally, if you/your child only answers a certain type of question (i.e. yes/no questions, questions about school, etc.) please contact us ahead of time so we can ensure to ask the proper questions during interview.

Attire for Interview is Sunday Best, but remember we want everyone to be comfortable as well!

The Talent portion is completely optional but allows participants to show off their talents and builds confidence and self-esteem. Talents can be anything that the participant is good at - jump roping, hula-hooping, cheer leading, tuba etc. We've even had participants bring finished creations such as paintings, sculptures, blankets, or photographs and discussed the product or how they made it on stage.

Individuals who participate in talent are awarded a medal for their hard work. One Overall Talent Queen is also crowned.

Attire for Talent is up to you! If your talent requires a certain outfit, such as cheerleading uniform or tae kwon do gi, then you can wear that. Otherwise you can wear Sunday Best as you did in Self-Introduction and Interview or change in to something else.

The Photogenic portion is also completely optional. In this, participants are judged on printed photographs where they show off their unique style. Photographs do not need to be professional. We accept school photos, Christmas cards, seflies, etc. as long as the photographs are printed.

Individuals who participate in photognic are awarded a medal for their hard work. One Overall Photogenic Queen is also crowned.

During formalwear, participants are truly given the red carpet treatment. They are escorted on stage and introduced by our emcee. Confidence can easily be seen, and this category helps promote the self-esteem and confidence of our participants. Participants bow, twirl, wave, and blow kisses to the audience with grins on their face.

Attire for Formalwear is evening wear, but remember we want everyone to be comfortable as well! For ladies, does not need to be a floor length pageant gown. It can be Sunday Best, their prom dress, or what they wore to a wedding last year. For gentleman, this does not need to be a full tux or suit.

Finally, participants are given the royal treatment during crowning. At a Miss Magnificent pageant, everyone is a winner. There is one divisional queen chosen per age division, all others are crowned princesses. There is also an overall talent queen and overall photogenic queen. While there is no overall escort, all escorts are awarded for their efforts.

• Queens receive a satin sash, rhinestone tiara, trophy, and goody bag.
• Princesses a satin sash, rhinestone tiara, trophy, and goody bag.
• Escorts receive a kings crown, medal, trophy, and goody bag.

Please note that participants can be talent queen or divisional queen but not both. After talent and photogenic queens are awarded, they will be crowned princesses during their division.

Attire for crowning is the same as formalwear.
