What are the judges looking for during a pageant?

Here is what they will look for:

1.Personality( Try being real down to earth, natural, try being your true self, do not try to hard to impress anyone, be "YOU")

2. Smile :) at all times

3. Walk on stage should be well performed (Hint: try not to look down too much, practice at home, glide-do not be too stiff)

4. How do the contestant's answer each question(Hint: speak loud and clear)

5. Posture

Things to AVOID:

1. Looking down

2. While speaking "DO NOT" say: Umm...(instead pause for second, do not say- can I start all over?, do not say the word, "like". Unless it is being using it within reason. Such as a sentence like this: My cat is like my rabbit, because they both have fur. They are both similar and this is why you are using the word, "like".

3. Do not use profanity: try to refrain from profanity such as the words: Stupid, dumb, words that might offend others etc...
