We are not a new pageant. I directed a pageant for 7 years and have run this one for 4 years. All judges are required to indicate that they do not know any contestants before they are allowed to judge. Last year one indicated she knew a contestant and we pulled her from judging that division. It is IMPERATIVE to me that judges no know one. It is my opinion that people pay for a fair chance to win the title, and everything else is bells and whistles. You have questioned the very thing that I am adamant about. My daughter competed for over 25 years and I know what it's like. Director 12/09/14 Tue

My apologies if I offended you. I've not heard of your pageant, so it's new to me. My inquiry was a general one since I've had personal experience with some questionable judging, and so I'm much more thorough in my research choosing a potential pageant to participate in. -- Thanks, 12/09/14 Tue

No, you didn't offend me at all! Please don't think you did. I agree with you 100%! LOL -- Cheryl, 12/09/14 Tue
