Remember, they are just children and they maybe bashful and have scratches and bumps. They should not cry or suck their thumb in beauty or points will be ducted. THERE IS NOT A SCORE FOR MODELING OR GOING TO THE RIGHT X. We are looking for natural, wholesome contestants. The judges are not searching for a “Miniature Adult” or “Vegas Showgirl.” Beauty competition is not based on how much money is spent on clothing. Our judges will be judging the contestants on Facial beauty, their ability to capture their audience including the judges, how well they are put together, how well their clothes fit and look on them, and their ability to walk across the stage with grace and poise and personality
