This is a total scam!! BEWARE the owner of nationals inc is a registered sex offender. That is why it is not listed as a beauty pagent. He has it listed as a consulting service. He was busted for kiddie porn! Everything they told us was a lie. My daughter won for miss pre-teen and we never got to Orlando. They told us everything was paid for and go pick up our tickets. We went to pick them up all packed and ready to go and there were no tickets. We tried calling them and their number had been disconnected. We also ordered Several hundred dollars worth of pictures and never recieved any. "NOT ONE PICTURE". About two months later they sent me a letter asking if my daughter would like to compete in a pageant in another town but this time they weanted $1297.00! I have contacted the local and federal authorities they said they have been after these guy's for quite some time now. They said he was using kid's that had won pictures to make fake porn with their faces!! He is a sick sick man!!!

It is a pure SCAM! I was able to call them and reached them at 800-454-3420. The problem is they do not give prizes they promised and saying now that we did not read papers correctly and prize of $20,000.00 is a prize paid to all girls across the states and to the winner that would only include a crown, trophy, banner and trip to Orlando (which I have not received any info about). It is just a scam.

Any pageant that charges $495 without providing services beyond "training" is a money pit. Photogenic optional fees are never $125. The scoring system is bogus. No matter how well you perform in the first two categories, your title hinges on the final questions with all scores being rolled back to zero. This pageant offers no platform, no charitable affiliation, no sponsors, no arranged appearances for the winners and says absolutely nothing about returning the following year to crown a successor. And no pageant on earth is going to expect preliminary winners to compete in a national pageant with only SIX WEEKS to prepare during the school year. Do you really expect kids to miss a week of school to compete? Right before the holidays? I think the directors are merely trying to insure their own Merry Christmas. Shameful and Ridiculous!
