Frequently Asked Questions


1) How is the Miss Teenage California Pageant judged?

Each contestant will be judged in three areas of competition during the preliminary round: Achievements and Activities, Personality, and Poise and Appearance in Evening Gown. Judging criteria specifically focuses on character, achievements and activities, poise, confidence, personality and overall appearance.

2) Is there a swimsuit or talent portion of the competition?

No to both! There is no talent competition and no swimsuit competition.

3) Can I have a friend enter the pageant with me?

Yes, absolutely. In fact, we encourage it! Many of last year's contestants have chosen to return this year and have recommended their friends to participate as well.

4) Does my weight and/or height and body type matter?

Absolutely not! Whether you're 5' tall or 6' tall it doesn't matter. The judges will acknowledge physical fitness, which includes a healthy and fit body with no requirements for height or weight. There is usually a wide range of body types that compete at the state pageant.

5) If I win, will it interfere with school?

We make school the number one priority! As Miss Teenage California you can have a busy year or a very relaxing year. It is totally up to you. Your main obligations will be to to return to crown your successor should you win. Absolutely no other obligations!

6) What if I have never done a pageant before? Does that matter?

Not at all. In fact most of our contestants are newcomers to pageants. No experience is required or necessary. We have had many winners who never competed in a pageant before coming to Miss Teenage California.

7) What style of gown should I choose?

The only requirement for the evening gown competition is that you wear a long gown. You can choose any style, color, fabric, etc. Choose a gown that best shows your personality. Many contestants wear prom style or pageant style gowns. You will find gowns at many bridal salons or large department stores.

8) There are a lot of pageants out there, how do I know which one to choose?

The best way to decide is to do research on the organization, etc. Look into who owns it, what are the prizes, and how long have they been around. The Miss Teenage California Scholarship Pageant is the longest running state teen pageant in the nation. The company has produced special events and pageants since 1977. This pageant and it's Director, Frank Lameira have won numerous honors.

9) What if I have more questions that aren't on this list?

Yes. The pageant will supply all accepted contestants with our 40 page Miss Teenage California Handbook. This will serve as your official guide as you prepare to participate in Miss Teenage California.

11) Must I win a local pageant first?

Absolutely not! The Miss Teenage California Pageant is entirely at-large. You do not need to enter a local pageant to enter. In fact 99.9% of all contestants do not. If accepted you come directly to the state pageant.

12) What is the history of the Miss Teenage California Scholarship Pageant?

The pageant was founded in 1980 and for the past twenty-eight years has awarded hundred of thousands in college scholarships and prizes.
