Points to Consider for First-Time Pageant Contestants
It's
nerve-wracking to be a first-timer for anything, let alone a pageant, where all
eyes are on you from the moment you go on stage.
The
pageant world can be intimidating, so don't worry! I can assist soothe some
worries as someone who has competed in a number of beauty pageants and mentored
a number of queens.
If
you're a first-time contender, here are my suggestions.
Be prepared for the unexpected
If
there's one thing you can count on from beauty pageants, it's surprises!
Even
if your pageant procedure is meticulously organized, not everything will go
according to plan. When you put your plans on paper, they may turn out to be very
different in real life.
This
isn't to mean that you should be fine with things running late, such as shows
being delayed for hours. That is a massive no-no, but you should be able to
deal with minor issues on occasion.
There aren't all mean girls in the world
People
attempt to portray pageant winners as "nasty girls," yet nothing
could be further from the reality. While there are a few girls who do not get
along with the majority of the other participants, everyone else gets along
fine.
You
must remember that all the other girls are experiencing the same feelings as
you. They are both nervous and excited, and all they want is each other's
support.
Because
I was open to new relationships, I met some of my best friends in pageants. So,
don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to meet new people and show your
support. You never know when those pageant ties will come in later in life.
It's a Learning Opportunity
You
could think you've learnt everything there is to know going into a pageant, but
hold that thinking!
Every
encounter, no matter how well prepared you are for a pageant, will teach you
something new. Every pageant is unique, with its own set of judges, production
staff, contestants, and so on.
As a
result, be willing to learn and take constructive criticism. Whether you win or
lose the crown. You can discover something valuable about yourself that will
help you better prepare for new possibilities. You'll miss out on a lot more
than a crown if you're not willing to progress.
