Proven Success

In 2015, after Up Pageantry was awarded the contract to produce the Miss Placer County Pageants, we placed a new emphasis upon sending young women who were successful at the local pageant level on to compete in state and/or national level competitions, promoting them in the pageant, acting and/or modeling industries, and seeking our ways to provide and support opportunities for them to experience! We have seen much success in pageantry, but more importantly, we have made memories which will last a lifetime! YOU can be part of these success stories, too. Join Up Pageantry on the journey!

2023

Official Nominations have been voted upon for the 2023 Global Beauty Awards, and once again Up is well-represented! Many of the team are nominated for multiple awards. Keep watching to see the outcome at the awards gala, Sunday April 30, 2023 in Seattle!
