Infant/Baby/Tiny Tot Competition
Â
Our baby pageant consists of these 3 age divisions, and they all participate in the same events. These events are playtime, casualwear modeling, partywear modeling, and photogenic.
Playtime
Our system is very personality based, especially for our little ones, so playtime is a time for the judges to focus on these participants and try to get to know them a little bit. The participants will come into the ballroom as a group. Depending on the number of participants we have in these divisions, they may come all together, or they may be divided into smaller groups. Each participant should plan to bring their chaperone and 1 toy. The toy should be something the participant enjoys playing with but is willing to share with others. The judges will have approximately 5 minutes with each group. For preliminary pageants, the participant will wear their casualwear outfit for this event. At the state and international level, the participant will wear an outfit specifically for playtime.
​
Casualwear modeling
Participants model on stage in casualwear attire. The modeling presentation will include a brief self-introduction at the center of the state. For these participants, the chaperone will deliver the introduction (name, age, and hometown). Please allow the emcee to hold the microphone for you. The modeling pattern and music is set and consistent across all Cinderella pageants. You can view a tutorial of the modeling here. The attire should be a dressy casual outfit that the participant might wear to an event, such as a friend’s birthday party or a festive holiday occasion. You can view examples of attire here.
Partywear modeling
Participants model on stage in a party dress. The modeling pattern and music is set and consistent across all Cinderella pageants. You can view a tutorial of the modeling here. The attire should be a shorter dress (approximately knee length) and should be simple in design (limit patterns, lace, sequins, tulle, etc.) and color. Simple satin, silk, or smocked dresses are a great choice. You can view examples of attire here.
Photogenic
Participants should submit a headshot (shoulders and up), no bigger than 8X10 for judging. Photos are judged on the ability of the participant to portray their beauty, personality and charm through the photographic medium. Photos may be in black and white, or color and Judges are instructed to look for a “natural” unaffected look. The photo should portray the participant in an age appropriate way as regards to hair, makeup, attire and photographic composition. Simple clothing and background and neat, styled hair make for the best photos.
