I like the mentoring aspect but not the newbie title. It's rare for a newcomer to be ready to win her first local but it can happen -- Miss Kentucky Pageant

Some great ideas! I think it's SO important to always be reaching out to new ladies. I think newbie titles are good, but not necessary. Sometimes girls gain experience and pageant skills by competing ina few locals. I LOVE it when a new girl can win on her first try! But I'll admit, that it is rare. No name 08:04:21 02/25/14 Tue

Because this entire program is about growth so it's very unlikely someone would or should win their first time out -- handing a newbie an undeserved title won't help her at state, 11:18:57 02/25/14 Tue

Good potential for recruiting. But watch the negative posts. That will get you every time. -- No name, 00:55:42 03/04/14 Tue

Well said! -- No name, 07:58:56 03/04/14 Tue

Judges can usually tell if a girl is new because she typically is not as prepared as those who have been doing it. No one is saying that new contestants should never win, but that they are less likely to win. Yes it's about scholarships but it's about SO much more than just that -- everyone should try, but have realistic expectations, 07:58:17 03/04/14 Tue
