  • How difficult is it to collect sponsorship?  Collecting sponsorship is easy to do, however it does take some time commitment on your part. It is highly recommended that you make a list of potential sponsors such as friends, family members, employers, people you do business with, etc. and spend a few hours on the weekend or when your schedule allows you to collect your sponsorships. Be sure to go in person to talk to your potential sponsor. Let the sponsor know what your platform is and why you are passionate about it. Going out and talking to sponsors is a great way to help you prepare for interview. The sponsor may have some of the same questions a Judge would ask.

  • What is a platform? A platform is a cause or issue that is near or dear to your heart. Each contestant in the Celestial Pageants will select a platform along with her views on Domestic Violence which she will spend the year promoting if selected as a Queen.

We request that each title-holder make at least one appearance a month, but this will vary from Queen to Queen based on each title-holder's individual schedule.
