Having said that, if you have an upcoming pageant that you want to ace, here are some tips for you. This will serve as your guide to attain your winning glow.

     TIPS TO ACE THE PAGEANT PROPER

1 Smile (a lot). No one wants to choose a grouchy beauty queen or one who seems inaccessible, arrogant, or who lacks confidence. Smile! It will immediately give people a good impression of you.

• Show your teeth when you smile. This brings out the best in you. Get your teeth whitened before the pageant so that your smile dazzles as much as possible.
• If you put petroleum jelly on your teeth at home as practice, you won’t be able to stop smiling.

2 Have excellent posture to walk like a queen. Beauty queens have great posture. This is absolutely crucial. You need to walk regally, with your shoulders back and head straight (never looking down).

• Show confidence at all times. You can walk with confidence, too. If you show any awkwardness or nervousness, you’re unlikely to get a great score.
• Don't crunch your back. Stand up straight! Not only will you feel more confident and beautiful, standing up straight helps improve your mood, memory, and boosts creative thinking.

3 Be a good role model at all times. You don’t want to come across like a robot. You need to be confident enough to show your personality. Hopefully it’s sassy and fun. You need to come across like a good role model.

• People get in trouble when they go negative. Stay positive at all times. Become a happy person and show that in all you do. Be nice to the other contestants. Don’t act like a snob.
• Think about the personality trait you want to showcase before the pageant. Maybe do some volunteer work before the pageant. If you win, you will be representing the pageant organization.

4 Ace the interview to increase your chances of placing. The interview is something you should take very seriously. Beauty queens need to be more than beautiful; they need to be poised, smart, and good communicators.

• If you don’t know much about the question, don’t say nothing. Find something to say even if it's not the best answer. Just do your best, and perhaps repeat part of the question at the beginning of your answer to give yourself more time. As in, "The best way to achieve world peace is to.... etc."
• Answer honestly and from the heart. You want to be genuine. Avoid clichéd answers like “world peace.” It's helpful to get some public speaking experience first.
• If you get asked a really controversial question, be as diplomatic and tactful as possible - try to stay positive - but still answer honestly.
