A staple of pop culture, beauty pageants are competitions where participants (usually women, but there are special contests for men too) are judged primarily on their looks. The winner is awarded a rhinestone tiara, sash and scepter (and perhaps a bouquet of flowers) while the host sings her praises. Although beauty pageants have been criticized for being superficial and exploitative, the industry has made a concerted effort to promote inclusivity in recent years.
As part of this movement, many beauty pageants have dropped their swimsuit and lingerie competitions. In addition, the Miss Universe and the Miss USA pageants now allow all women of any age to compete. However, there are still some important qualifications to meet if you’re planning on competing in a beauty pageant.
To qualify for a beauty pageant, you should have a good personality, excellent communication skills and be willing to work hard. You should also be able to answer interview questions, write an essay and perform a talent. Generally, the organizer of a beauty pageant will provide the contestant with an application form. The application form will require you to submit your name, age, home address and a snippet of personal information such as a hobby or passion.
Most beauty pageants also require you to wear a dress during the competition. This may be anything from a sundress to a formal gown. However, it’s important to note that the dress should be appropriate for the competition’s theme and should not expose too much skin.
