Pageant Rules and Regulations:
Earth Southern New England Pageants are designed to recognize and encourage excellence among the outstanding young woman throughout our nation.
During the national pageant, delegates will participate in numerous public appearances, environmental and motivational seminars, specially planned events, rehearsals and fun!
Some events are designed to welcome family and friends participation, so that they too, can “experience the difference”.
National delegates will be fairly and accurately judged in five separate phases of competition.
- Confidence in Interview
- Environmental Awareness
- Personality in Swimsuit
- Elegance in Evening Gown
- Overall Impression
Judges will use an Olympic style scoring system, awarding points from 1.0 to 10.0 including half points (example 7.5). The highest and lowest score from the collective panel will be discarded and the remaining points will be added. The delegate with the highest number of overall points will become Miss Earth Southern New England or Miss Teen Southern New England or Litte Miss Earth Keeper 2011.
Confidence in Interview: Miss Earth Southern New England and Miss Teen Earth Southern New England and Little Miss Earth Keeper MUST be likable, personable, approachable, charming and a confident and effective communicator in a wide variety of scenarios. The national delegates will be given several opportunities to meet with the judges in order to achieve this criteria. They will converse with the judges and participate in a timed panel style interview. Each segment is designed to provide every delegate with an opportunity to make a positive impression on our judges and to test her communication skills. Delegates are not judged on their personal opinions or beliefs.
Environmental Awareness: During the interview, each delegate will be questioned on her environmental awareness and how this crisis affects her own community, with emphasis on her ability to convey her passion, thoughts and ideas.
Personality in Swimsuit: Emphasis is not on fitness. Delegates are judged on having an attractive, healthy, and feminine figure for her body type. Delegates are to provide their own swimsuits and may be either a one piece or two-piece style. However, no thong, string, or brazilian cuts will be permitted. Confidence, stage presence and personality are also considered. (Little Miss will be excluded from swimsuit. Little Miss will compete in a fun wear competition.)
Elegance in Evening Gown: During the most glamorous portion of the pageant, the delegates are judged on their personal style, flair for fashion and overall beauty. Elegance, poise and stage presence are also factored into her overall score. The judges will also consider the appropriateness of the gown, but NOT the cost of the gown.
Overall Impression: Judges are required to score each event separate and apart from the others and will not let one round of competition influence the score of another. The overall impression category provides our judges with an opportunity to take into account each delegate’s overall presentation without specific emphasis on any one particular event.
