Question

What do you need to know to do to be in a beauty pageant? Do you just walk down the stage in a dress, or is there more to it?

Community Answer

There is definitely more to it, but walking down the stage in a dress is a part of it. There is an introduction portion, an interview portion, a talent portion, and sometimes even an opening dance number with the ladies participating.

Question

How much do you have to weigh to enter beauty pageants?

Community Answer

There is no specified weight to enter a pageant. Pageants have opened up a lot in recent years and have been more accepting of what is deemed beautiful, meaning it goes against the typical standards of beauty. So look into the different divisions that pageants offer to see where you fit.

Question

What if there are no online beauty pageants or beauty pageants around?

Community Answer

It might be necessary to broaden your search to pageants in nearby states or expand it nationally as well. Also, if you have just missed a deadline of a pageant in a city you're looking into, make note of the dates typically associated with them and try the pageant again next year.

Question

How do I enter a beauty pageant at age 40?

Community Answer

If the pageant rules permit older age groups to enter, then you can enter. However, you need to read the rules and you might find it easier to find a pageant for your age group, in order to be judged more fairly.

Question

Can people with chronic diseases enter a pageant?

Community Answer

It is possible, yes. Some pageants may accept you with a chronic condition, some may not. You will need to contact the pageant manager to get the terms and conditions but it would also help to explain your condition and suggest it'd be good for the pageant to be inclusive.

Question

Will I have to buy gowns and other dresses or will I get these from the organizing committee itself?

Top Answerer

Usually you need to provide the gowns and dresses yourself. This is why pageant involvement tends to become costly quite quickly.

Question

Are we going to be paid?

Otterly Badgerific

Top Answerer

Generally, no. Rather, you will be paying entry fees and money for the costumes, makeup, travel and accommodations. If you win a place, then you can recoup some of the costs through prize monies.
