Different pageants offer some of these benefits, but ONLY Up PAGEANTRY combines ALL of the best possible experiences of pageantry to the benefit of our contestants. 

 

​

​WE ARE GOOD AT WHAT WE DO

• The Miss Placer County Pageant was established in 1937, and has been part of the fair for over 80 years!  We are extremely proud to be the producer.

• We focus on ONE pageant a year, not dividing our time, sponsor support, or competitors. And we focus on our royalty ALL year.

• The staff has over 120 years of combined experience in all areas of pageantry (title-holders, emcees, coaches, assistant directors, set-building & designing, choreographers, queen parent(s), hostesses, and judges).

• Up coaches have coached our royalty to state, national, or international level titles in EIGHT prestigious pagenat systems.

• We focus on developing leaders and enhancing marketable skills like public speaking and interviewing.

• We have EXCELLENT SPONSOR and community support.

• We are professional, communicative, and organized.

• Our contestants, their families, our volunteers, our sponsors, and the community LOVE to work with Up and our Royalty ~ see what they are saying on our website at “Testimonials” http://www.uppageantry.org/testimonials

 

WE PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY

• We set our line-up with a public, random drawing by the contestants.

• Contestants see blank score sheets before the pageant, so they KNOW what the judges are scoring.

• We don’t handle the scores before the envelope is passed to the stage.

• We will provide scores to the contestants, along with the high score in each category, while maintaining confidentiality of other contestants. 

• We will meet with contestants to discuss strengths and areas for improvement.

• Contestants can obtain the judges written comments about a contestant’s Personal Interview performance.

• Subjective areas or awards do not impact the scores for the royal court.

• We do NOT score or detract for attendance (i.e. “reliability” points).

 

WHAT WE OFFER

• Our Queens have the option to compete at a statewide pageant and possibly a national level pageant.

• We continually emphasize leadership, sound judgment, and courage, in a fun, engaging way.

• The Essay competition is optional.
