We hope this page will answer many questions for you, if it doesn t feel free to call us so we can further assist you! Thank You! Your Our Little Miss Directors! What is Our Little Miss Looking for? We are looking for natural, wholesome contestants. Sexy and overdone clothing is not accepted. This competition is not based on how much money is spent on clothing. Expensive designer clothing is not necessary. Our judges will be judging the contestants ability to capture their audience, including the judges. A well-versed contestant on worldly issues and school activities will catch the eyes of the judges far sooner than a satin, rhinestone jacket. Be yourself and have fun. Then the awards will be a wonderful added gift to bring home along with your lasting friendships! Official Competition CLOSE UP APPRAISAL (INTERVIEW) ATTIRE: Sunday Dress (something your child would wear to church) or Business attire for older contestants. During interview for Baby Petites 0-3, the judges will be judging on how well you and your child work together, chaperones are asked to tell something about their babies. Questions will not be forwarded to the Babies. Chaperones are asked not to prompt their Babies to answer questions in fairness to the younger Babies. During this phase of competition, you are welcome to bring in whatever is necessary to entertain your baby. (ie: cheerios, toy, pacifier, bottle, etc) Our judges understand they are judging babies! Miss LaPetite and Our Little Miss contestants are judged on their ability to answer their questions. Their questions will be related to everyday activities. Contestants Preteen through Universal Ms/Mrs. judges will be asking questions about your community, business, or school activities. There are no wrong answers. Judges are looking for eye contact, self-confidence and the ability to speak. Close-up Appraisal/Interview is a time for the judges to actually meet the contestants and learn a little bit about them before stage competition begins. SPORTSWEAR ATTIRE No Pro-Am modeling is allowed in Sportswear Competition. Basic Modeling only! Attire should be active or dressy sportswear. No glitzy or glittery costumes and no sequins, rhinestones, diamonds or anything that shines like one is 3

4 allowed during sportswear (includes jewelry with the exception of wedding rings). NO SKIRTS OR SWIMWEAR ALLOWED IN SPORTSWEAR! Sportswear will be judged on the contestant s ability to present herself on stage. PARTY DRESS / EVENING GOWN COMPETITION Baby Petite through Our Little Miss Preteen- Our Little Miss has only one basic rule for Party Dresses. We do not allow backless party dresses or dress bodice to fall below the shoulder blades. Should a key hole open below this point a simple piece of lace or other material should be inserted to follow regulations. Remember, while Our Little Miss does not encourage the over-done, custom party dresses, we simply ask that you use your best judgment and do not allow the party dress to over power your child and KEEP IT AGE APPROPRIATE. No splits above the knees or low cut necklines are acceptable. No strapless dresses. Straps must be at least 1 wide. Sheer fabric is treated the same as no fabric. For instance if there is a sheer piece of fabric through the midriff area, the dress will be treated the same as no fabric in midriff area. Our Little Miss judges the child! So an expensive custom-made party dress is not necessary! Ideal Miss through Universal Ms./Mrs. Contestants should be wearing long evening gowns. No splits above the knees or low cut necklines are acceptable. No strapless dresses. Straps must be at least 1 wide. Halter-top style dresses must be at least 1 wide. Sheer fabric is treated the same as no fabric. For instance if there is a sheer piece of fabric through the midriff area, the dress will be treated the same as no fabric in midriff. Play Time With The Judges/Team Our Little Miss All contestants will spend time with the judges. This time allows the judges to see the contestants in a more natural setting. The Royalty will assist with the activities. Contestants 0 6 are also encouraged to bring their own toys to share. For the older contestants the judges will be looking for leadership ability as well as cooperative and friendly contestants. Contestants will wear their official State T-shirt khaki shorts, skorts or pants, and white tennis shoes. Official Talent (Our Little Miss through Universal Ms./Mrs. All talent presentations for competition will be timed and cannot exceed 2:59. Contestants with talents exceeding this time limit will be disqualified from the 4 placements. Be safe and cut your routines if you have any doubt. Due to regulations, no type of fire acts may be used. TALENT PRESENTATIONS OR COSTUMES OF A SUGGESTIVE NATURE WILL MEAN AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION FROM COMPETITION.

X(1) X(2) X(4) X(3) ** Although there are X s put on the stage, there is no set process for everyone. The X s are there to help guide the contestant. You will not be judged on how well you model or if you hit every X. **Our Little Miss does not use Pro/Am styles of modeling. 5

Crowns and banners cannot be worn in any photograph in the official program book. * No alcoholic beverages and/or illegal drugs of any kind is allowed to be consumed by parents or older contestants in or near staging areas or in contestant's rooms. This could be cause for contestant's automatic disqualification. This is a children's event and should not be considered a free-for-all party in a hotel. It will be at the discretion of the Pageant Officials as to the severity of the problem and the matter will be handled accordingly. * No smoking in Staging areas, including dressing rooms. *Baby Petite Contestants ONLY: Baby Petite on-stage escorts must not remove their hands from the contestant during any on-stage presentations and the clothes they wear on stage to present the contestant must follow the guidelines listed in the handbook for the contestants ages 13 & up. No coaching on stage where a chaperone/guardian can be over heard. * Although every contestant has a parent or appointed guardian, pageant officials will stop any unacceptable conduct, (i.e. foul language, abusive punishment, activities that could be harmful, younger contestants smoking, excessive gossiping, rude behavior, distasteful clothing). Any of the above mentioned regulations can be cause for contestant's disqualification. If necessary the contestant(s) and attending guest will be asked to vacate the property. * Any photo used in the Program Book, Additional Advertising, Miss Photogenic or Commercial Print, must portray the contestant s age, low cut clothing, over done make-up and large earrings is not advisable, especially on the younger contestants.

7 * The Universal Ms. division is the only division in which a contestant/winner may be married or have children prior to entering the competition or be married or have children during their reign. * AUDITOR (Rule Enforcement Agent) A rule enforcement position was created with regard to all competitions: local, state, regional, national and world levels. The title of the rule enforcement agent position shall be auditor. The auditor will be responsible for insuring that the judges results conform to the guidelines for the awarding of titles and placement (alternate positions) as set forth in the World Handbook. For example, the auditor shall be responsible for insuring that the Mini Queen is the highest ranking contestant at the opposite end of the age division. Additionally, the auditor will insure that a person who has committed a violation will not be within the first four placements. Rules & Regulations All Contestants DISQUALIFICATION/VIOLATION/INFRACTIONS A disqualification is when a contestant expresses direct defiance of the principles set forth by the World Youth Federation for all Our Little Miss competitions. If a contestant or their family is found guilty of a disqualification, the contestant will be removed from competition and both she and her family will be asked to leave the premises immediately. Disqualifications include bribing judges; child or spousal abuse, be it verbal or physical; smoking in the staging area; drinking alcoholic beverages on the property; underage smoking; underage drinking; being under the influence of drugs or alcohol on the property; misuse of copyrights; misuse of federal trademark; and selling any items on the property. For clarification purposes, misuse of the copyright or federal trademark consists of placing titles, the OLM silhouette or Our Little Miss logo on anything, including, but not limited to, paper, garments, bags and crown cases without the express permission of a World Youth Federation executive board member. An example of this would be having a child s title airbrushed on a crown case or having a child s title monogrammed on a tote bag or placing a child s title on business cards. It is much easier to ask permission than to ask for forgiveness, as forgiveness simply will not be given for any such act. For example, if a World queen wants to pass out business cards with her name and title appearing thereon with little goodies attached for contestants, she should forward a prototype or proof of the item/document to World Youth Federation headquarters and await approval before having the same printed or otherwise created. This applies with regard to press releases as well. Any proposed articles for publication must be approved by an executive board member of World Youth Federation prior to publication. Violations are defined as intentional disregard for the rules and standards set forth by World Youth Federation for all Our Little Miss sanctioned events. If a contestant commits only one violation, she will be precluded from being in the top four places during Official competition and the top three places during a Universal Beauty competition. These violations are automatic (i.e., there are no free passes with regard to violations). Violations are defined as follows: failing to submit an acceptable picture for the program book; performing a talent which exceeds two minutes and 59 seconds; missing a competition in its entirety (a contestant who is late for a competition but arrives prior to her appointed turn on stage will be considered to have committed an infraction-and such a contestant will be allowed to compete in the normal rotation-but a child who misses her appropriate turn on stage will be placed at the end of her group if she arrives prior to line up or close up appraisal; however, a child who arrives for competition during close up appraisal or lineup will be considered to have missed her competition in its 7

8 entirety and will be considered to have committed a violation); breaking a clothing rule (one inch straps for all contestants; no backs out below the shoulder blades for contestants 12 and under; no rhinestones worn during sportswear competition; material that looks like skin has the same effect as skin; shoe heel under 1.5 for 9 & under, 2 for 10-12(OLMP) & no regulations for 13 and over); and the hands-on rule & no on stage/close-up appraisal coaching for children in the Baby Petite competition. An infraction is considered an inadvertent failure to comply with the rules and standards as set forth by the World Youth Federation for all Our Little Miss scholarship competitions. Each contestant is permitted one warning (free pass); however, if the contestant commits a second infraction, she will be excluded from the top four placements during Official competition and the top three placements during Universal Beauty competition. Examples of infractions are being late (please note the difference between being late for the 15 minute check in and missing a competition in its entirety) or inadvertent inappropriate exposure. An example of inadvertent inappropriate exposure would be a contestant s unplanned disrobing during talent competition, such as a shoe string breaking and a shoe flying off the contestant, a child s talent costume getting hung on a prop and exposing skin through no defect of the otherwise legal talent costume, or a child bending over to donate pennies during the fund raiser and her lower back being exposed briefly due to her motions. All auditors decisions as to infractions, violations and disqualifications will be final. Further, all judge s decisions will be final. A director should not intervene if a judge does not want to follow the ruling of the auditor. A judge s result should be signed off on by the auditor to insure compliance with the standards and regulations of the World Youth Federation for any Our Little Miss sanctioned event. Please instruct your judges that their decisions should concur with any ruling necessary of the auditor. Clothing Rules All Contestants * Body glitter or hair glitter is not allowed in any stage of competition. * Spray tanning application will not be permitted during the duration of the competition, this includes early bird days.
