USE ADS TO PAY YOUR FEES!

That's right! We allow our contestants to solicit businesses and family and friends for support by placing an ad in our digital program book. The cost of each ad you secure will be deducted from your pageant fee. i.e. Tucker's Corner Store places a 1/2 page ad in our program book. The cost of that ad ($80 is deducted from your pageant fee, reducing your balance. You can basically compete for free if you secure enough ads!

Once your application ($50) and pageant fee ($125) are paid, ask for a personalized sponsor letter!
