Judges and Criteria



Judging Criteria

Throughout the USA pageant system, from the local level to the international level, delegates are judged in three areas:

 

INTERVIEW

Pageant judges spend time with each delegate to learn about her successes, talents, goals and ambitions.  Attention is focused on her poise, charm, self - confidence and her ability to communicate, as well as the substance of her answers. See examples of appropriate interview wear.

 

SWIMSUIT COMPETITION

Attention is focused on beauty of face, figure, physical fitness and the confidence with which each contestant carries herself. Numerical measurements are not considered in the judging. See examples of appropriate swimsuit wear.

 

EVENING GOWN COMPETITION

Each delegate wears a gown she has chosen for herself. Attention is focused on each contestant’s overall appearance, self-confidence, sense of style and the beauty she bring to the gown of her choice.

 

There is no talent competition and no experience is necessary.

The Miss Maine USA® Pageant and Miss Maine Teen USA® Pageant are looking for ambassadors to represent Maine throughout the state, as well as, nationally and internationally.  The winners may not score the highest in any one particular category but will do well in all events.

They will be young women who possess the entire package of poise, personality, intelligence and beauty.  They should understand that, along with the prizes and glamour, there comes a responsibility to the pageant system, sponsors, community, and to Maine.

They automatically and instantly become role models. It is certain to be a year of personal growth and maturing.
