| American Royalty Pageant 2009 National Entry Form Girls: 0-23 mos * 2-3yrs *4-5yrs* 6-8 *9-11 *12-14 *15 -UP (single) * Classic Miss for (married/divorced/single who feel too old for Miss group) Boys 0-2 & 3-5 & 6-8 90 day grace period on age - or you may compete in the same age division you were in at your state pageant. American Royalty is a back to basics pageant for boys & girls: We have both glamour & academic events. Our primary focus is FACIAL BEAUTY of the contestant. Clothing in BEAUTY is not scored. We promote our queens whenever possible. Our queens have been in over 10 different magazines. They have appeared in newspapers, commercials, movies & have been on ABC news & national television. We assisted several queens (10) with landing extra roles in the movie “Carrie 2 - The Rage”. National Queen of Queens, Tara Nicole has appeared in 5 movies including: “A Tale About Bootlegging,” “Blood Done Sign My Name,” “The 5th Quarter” & a Nascar commercial. Our National Ambassador Tori Layton sang on the Jenny Jones Show . 2 Time National Queen Leila Mallouky was on “Kid Nation”. 2002 National queens Katie, Sydney & Angel filmed a commercial for J & W Communications!!! This year, we have been to Carowinds, Festivals, parades, fairs, Disney World & Epcot with our national queens. We also stress service to others. This year our queens raised over 3,000 food & toiletry items, over 3,000 books, over 800 notebooks & over 2,000 boxes of crayons for charity. They also participated in a Christmas stocking stuffer campaign for at-risk children. In the past 10 years we have donated more than 40,000 cans of food to the homeless. American Royalty is so much more than just a title!!! What’s Needed: We welcome experienced pageant contestants, but it is not necessary to have any pageant experience to do well in our system, since we are a FACIAL beauty pageant. If you are confident, well spoken, attractive & poised you will do well - regardless of how much or how little training you have had. It’s important to remember ONLY mascara & clear, frosted or pink lip gloss is allowed on contestants 11 & under. Day or “Prom” make-up allowed for ages 12 & over. Hair must look natural, if you use a hairpiece it may cost your child points if it is not totally natural in appearance. My advice is to not use one. Only exceptions for non-natural hair is in the COSTUME & Formal optionals. No pageant attire for girls 0-11 years. Sunday best or “flower girl” attire. We are NOT a glitz event! Many of our queens won their very first title with us. We run a fair pageant where anyone can win. This could be YOUR year! HOTEL: Our host hotel is the Hilton Garden Inn Ayersley / Charlotte, NC. 704-970-5000. We do have a room block reserved.

DOOR OPTIONALS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT REGISTRATION CALL FOR MORE INFO. There will be no solicitation of other pageant material at or during the pageant. We used to allow this, and we got complaints from contestants who were bothered by other directors as they were preparing for competition...so, we encourage other pageants to purchase a page of advertising in our program book FOR $100.00. Or, you may send us your pwk & $50 & we will place your entry forms in the gift bags. This will ensure that you reach every contestant & will also ensure privacy for our contestants who do not wish to be bothered. We are not responsible for the prizes which have been donated by sponsors. All checks must be made payable to: AMERICAN ROYALTY and sent to: 2110 HEDGELAWN DRIVE, CHARLOTTE, NC 28262. All bounced checks will be charged a $35.00 fee & your child could be disqualified, so please be responsible. Any past due balance over 30 days will result in forfeiture of title & bond. We will prosecute delinquent accounts. Should we go to court for ANY reason, you agree to pay all expenses (yours & ours). Thank you. No personal checks accepted past Aug. 10th. Cash only at the door. WE DO ACCEPT MC & VISA THROUGH paypal online to acct: STARRCROWN@aol.com Photogenics, snapshots, comps, printmodel pics & portfolios & costume tapes are to be turned in at registration. Cover girl / Princess & programbook photos must be mailed or e-mailed to our office, we must have these by Aug. 15th. If we do not have them by then, they will not be judged nor will they appear in the program book. Good sportsmanship is required by everyone. Failure to abide by this rule will lead to disqualification. This includes participation in “internet chat rooms” or “bash boards”. You agree not to talk about our pageant on-line, with the exception of congratulating people & congratulation banners. I have the ability to trace ISP’s & will do so if I am informed of bashing on-line. You will lose your title, awards, bonds, etc. & any legal fees incurred by us due to your act of liable, will be paid by YOU. Any legal fees the pageant may incurr for whatever reason, brought by you or by the pageant on you, will be paid by you, as it is you who is the reason for the legality. By signing the below form you agree to this. We do not disclose who is entering ahead of time, do not ask.. Stage will be in a T formation with a runway. No cameras or video equipment in the ballroom, we have professionals on hand for your convenience. *Savings bonds are guarenteed with 25 contestants. Cover Girl bond is guaranteed with 5 Cover contestants. Bonds are awarded when queen gives up her title the following year - unless otherwise advertised. To earn bond, queen must come back to crown her successor, she must have made 6 appearances during the year & must have a white appearance outfit (your choice) & an American Royalty pageant tee-shirt. You may compete in any pageants you choose, we do not restrict our queens...HOWEVER...if you enter & win a pageant which prohibits you from wearing & representing your American Royalty pageant, you agree that you will return to the pageant office all prizes / monies etc won in MINT condition, or replace said items at your expense, within 4 weeks after the national office notifies you and your title will be awarded to your first alt. If more than 6 months passes before you win a resticted title, you will give up your crown, etc. as stated above, but we will not crown a replacement, as too much time has passed. You also lose your bond. You, the parent assume the responsibility for the choices you make for your child. It is not any fault of ours if you have made this choice & you should not expect that we would welcome you promoting another title at our functions, nor should you expect us to pay you for doing so. It is my personal opinion that young children should be taught the importance of finishing their commitments & should not be forced to choose between titles, which is why we don’t restrict our queens from other competitions (so long as you fufill your commitment to us). Some pageants do not feel this way & unfortunately, if you are asked by another pageant not to represent any other title & you agree to do so, you must relinquish your American Royalty title. It simply is not fair to deny another child the honor of the title if you choose to only represent only another organization. By signing the consent form, you agree to this. It is the responsibility of the winner to provide the pageant with his / her ss # for the bond. Winner is responsible for any & all taxes on prizes won. All ca$h prizes are awarded ON STAGE the day of crowning. Bonds are awarded the next year when you crown your successor. You must attend Nationals next year to receive your bond. |
