My experience with this pageant system has been awful. I submitted my first fee of $99 for my 5 year to receive a state finalist title in June 2016. I had heard nothing from the system so I attempted to contact a person who works for the system. The system claims that they did know where the funds went. I finally received my daughters crown in September. I didn't receive information or a handbook until December. The crown was broken when I received it and they would not replace it. So, I dealt with it and payed a registration fee and deposit of $304 for my daughter to compete for a state title. There was no pageant and the director stated that my daughter will be crowned and advancing to nationals. There was an unexpected death in my family in which I had to use my daughter's pageant funds for. I conveyed my unfortunate situation to this Christian pageant system and received no compassion or a bit of understanding. It was all about money for them and the director even mentioned how she will pursue legal actions to get my daughter's crown and sash back that she didn't even receive yet. It was as if my daughter had to pay for her tile and it wasn't earned. Because I couldn't pay to go to the next pageant, they refused my 5 year old her title that she supposedly had earned, not even when I explained the unexpected death in the family. This system also refused to refund me the $304 for the title that they refused to give to my daughter. The way they dealt with me and my situation was not Christian like and they are money hungry and could care less about a person or their situation.

I have not competed at Pure but have friends that love it. I guess that is why we call it an opinion. (NT)No name22:08:30 04/13/17 Thu

I know of friends who love PURE however I also have talked to several others who have stories very similar to yours. I personally don't care for the 'give everyone who goes to state a title to lock everyone into nationals' types of pageants but some people like it. Best to talk to others who have competed in the system if possible before paying anything. (NT)No name20:43:17 04/16/17 Sun

Pat Miller rigs her pageants anyway so chances are, your daughter wouldn't place high anyway. Even though you lost your money, you were spared countless hours of the Pat Miller and her daughter's show because all the can re about is their own spotlight. (NT)No name12:57:21 06/13/17 Tue
