Subject: When competing, what prizes do you actually care about? Author: ? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11/14/13 Thu Besides the sash and crown, what prizes draw you in and make you want to win that title?

Subject Author Date What I need is a director who produces a great show, runs an up to date website, and keeps in touch a few times throughout the year. The crown and sash need to be good quality to withstand a year of appearances. The director needs to be reliable. If someone calls her to become a contestant or to request an appearance, she needs to answer within 48 hours. I could care less about prizes. I enjoy doing appearances and expect a nice farewell opportunity in the show when I am done with my year. My real wants 11/14/13 Thu Good answer. Since we know we aren't getting prizes, all we ask is an amazing crown, great marketing, lots of exposure, up to date website with appearances I've slaved getting, and a director who tells you the truth. Please don't tell me prizes are coming, or in the mail, or they were lost in transit. Don't advertise cash & then tell me you don't have it now. Don't ask me to come back to crown when I haven't gotten a single promised prize & then bash me if not. Keep your word. Be straight. Don't hide. I work hard for you. How about showing respect? -- had to get that off my chest, 11/17/13 Sun Good reputable WARDROBE sponsors for the next level. I live on a small budget and need the assistance to pull it together. Fitness sponsor is good too . 11/14/13 Thu I have to agree on a wardrobe sponsor but an AD page sponsor is almost nice. I'd rather have those things taken care of for the national level. -- Hotel/travel to nationals too, 11/16/13 Sat Agreed, hotel/airfare/ad page. Also, the website for the pageant kept up to date the entire year. that's all folks! 11/17/13 Sun Real PR support, cash, and a title that doesn't change in the middle of my reign. But most of all, an honest director with integrity. All other things are secondary IMHO 11/19/13 Tue I have had a great director and a crappy director, you never know til after you are crowned. It's hard to figure out ahead if time, I literally had a director that changed her tune after the contract was signed and this was after my 3rd attempt at a title so I thought I knew her. -- FYI, 11/19/13 Tue I would like a director or staff that actually book GOOD appearances and not ones that are just photo ops with other ladies etc. Yes I know that I need to network and land appearances too, but really, why be a director if you aren't helping your queen. IMHO 11/19/13 Tue at least you had someone to BOOK you. I had to do every one of my own. It's not Miss America in the adult world. As they say on the kid's toy commercials, "you do it yourself!" -- if I do appearances, at least show them off, 11/20/13 Wed Go to American Dream they rock. director cares and the show amazing. dont take my word for it see for yourself! past queen 01/08/14 Wed something cheesy about it, though, sorry. Wish it were higher caliber. -- keep trying, 01/09/14 Thu Re: Just because you didn't win doesn't make it cheesey. Your opinion is one thing but trying to put down a system because the judges didn't pick you is silly. -- American Dream is AAAAAAAmazing, 01/09/14 Thu Usually I don't care - there to represent the title and win it...but, if I could choose prizes on the state leel it would be airfare, ad page, hotel and gown for Nationals. On the National level, a budget to make appearances. not too much to ask right? :) 01/09/14 Thu
