Miss Golden Isles 2012
and
Miss Golden Isles’ Outstanding Teen Scholarship Pageant
(A Preliminary for the Miss Georgia and Miss Georgia’s
Outstanding Teen Pageant)
Dear Perspective Contestant:
We are excited that you are considering on becoming a contestant in the 2012 Miss Golden Isles
and Miss Golden Isles’ Outstanding Teen Pageant, which will be held on Saturday, November
19, 2011. This is a great way to earn some scholarship money and possibly go on to compete for
Miss Georgia or for Miss Georgia’s Outstanding Teen which will be held June 20-23, 2012.
Because the Miss America rules do not permit the charging of entry fees for the Miss contestants,
only Teen Miss Contestants are required to pay an entry fee of $125.00 which may be secured by
a sponsor or sponsors. We encourage you to get sponsors. A sponsor can be an individual,
business, organization or club. Sponsors will be listed in our program book and will be
recognized at the pageant. Each sponsor will receive one PATRON DONOR ticket for each
$50.00 or more donated to the pageant.
The National Platform of the Miss American Organization is the Children’s Miracle Network. In
conjunction with the Miss America Organization, the Miss Golden Isles contestants will be
asked to raise $100.00 each in donations for the Children’s Miracle Network. Information about
this will be given at the Orientation meeting on September 10. All monies donated for this cause
are tax deductible and will be sent directly to the Miss America Organization.
All contestants will be asked to sell tickets to benefit the scholarships. Each contestant will be
given ten tickets to sell at the cost of $15.00 each ticket. Additional tickets will be given upon
request. Ticket information and tickets will be given to you at the orientation meeting. The girl
who raises the most money in ticket sales for her division will be recognized at the pageant with
either the Miss Leadership Award or the Teen Miss Leadership Award.
Contestants will, also, have the opportunity to compete for the Miss Golden Isles People’s Choice
Award or the Miss Golden Isles’ Outstanding Teen People’s Choice Award. You will have the
opportunity to sell votes before the pageant. Votes will also be sold before and during
Intermission at the pageant. Your friends and family will be able to support you by casting their
votes. A People’s Choice sheet and bag (to be decorated by you) will be given to each
contestant at orientation.
Another award that will be given at the pageant is for the Miss Golden Isles Congeniality and the
Miss Golden Isles’ Outstanding Teen Congeniality. You and your peers will have the honor of
voting (at the Dress Rehearsal) for a girl in the Miss division and a girl in the Outstanding Teen
division who has been the friendliest, kindest, and most sportsman like throughout the pageant.
Once again, we will give younger girls (ages 6-12 years old) the joy of being a Princess at the
pageant. We are asking each contestant to go ahead and ask one girl to serve as her Princess.
A Princess may be a sister, cousin, niece, friend, etc. The cost of being a Princess is $40.00.
(Contestants are not required to pay this fee.) Princesses may get a sponsor to pay their $40.00
fee. Their sponsor will be given a PATRON DONOR ticket. We will discuss more details
concerning Princesses at Orientation and each contestant will be given a Princess form to pass
on to the girl of her choice.
Enclosed is a talent request form. As soon as you know your talent, you should submit this form.
You may either turn it in with your application, if you have already made your selection, or at the
orientation meeting or by the deadline of October 15. It is best to turn it in quickly. No two
contestants can have the same music, so the first one to submit the talent request will be
the one that will be permitted to perform the selection in question. The postmark date on
your envelope or delivery date to me will determine when the form was submitted. You
may mail your talent CD-R to me or bring your CD-R (No CD-RW-these will not work) to
Alicia Benton (Production Coordinator) by the meeting on Saturday, October 15. No exceptions!
Please be sure to have two copies made, one for us and one for you to practice with for the
pageant. Please note: Talent time is limited to a total of 90 seconds which is the same as
the Miss Georgia Pageant.
All contestants need a head and shoulders photo for the program book. The photo may be black
and white or color. Color doesn’t matter since our program is printed in black and white. You
must email the photo to me by October 15. One of the Miss Golden Isles’ board members will
be at the meeting on October 15 and will be available to take a head and shoulders photo if you
do not email one in by this date.
Orientation will be held on Saturday, September 10 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. at the Emanuel
United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 245 Ratcliff Rd, Brunswick, GA 31523. (Call me
912-261-7940/912-269-2839 if you need directions.) This is an important meeting,
especially if you have never participated in a Miss Georgia Preliminary Pageant. Your
parents are welcome and encouraged to attend this meeting with you. At this meeting, you
will be given a full schedule of all the activities related to the Miss Golden Isles and Miss Golden
Isles’ Outstanding Teen Pageant, given your tickets for ticket sales, receive the People’s Choice
Award sheet, People’s Choice Award bag, talk about your talent, talk about the Princess
Program, discuss the pageant theme, talk about the Fund Raiser for the Children’s Miracle Net
Work and will be given information on the Miss Golden Isles and Miss Golden Isles’ Outstanding
Teen Scholarship Pageant fund raisers. Alicia Benton will talk to you about the opening number
production. We will also discuss contracts and other important information related to the pageant
such as interviews, platform statements, resumes, etc.
Again this year, we will present a Photogenic Award at the pageant for a Miss and Teen
contestant. You will receive more information on this award at the Orientation meeting on
Saturday, September 10.
Following Orientation the next meeting and mock interviews (the interviews will be great
experience for you as you prepare for the pageant interviews) will be on Saturday, October
15 from 2:00-5:00 p.m., Dress Rehearsal will be on Friday, November 18 from 5:00 until
done, and Interviews and Pageant will be held on Saturday, November 19. Interviews will
most likely begin around 9:30 a.m. for Miss Contestants (depending on the number of
contestants) and 12:30 p.m. for Teen Miss Contestants. You will receive a full schedule at the
Orientation meeting that are associated with the Miss Golden Isles and Miss Golden Isles’
Outstanding Teen Pageant.
To participate in the Miss Golden Isles and Miss Golden Isles’ Outstanding Teen Pageant
please return your entry form by Thursday, September 1. We look forward to hearing from
you and hope to see you at Orientation on Saturday, September 10. If you have any questions,
