Check out our beauty pageant guide to help you overcome limitations and provide value to your target community:
Set very specific goals
As mentioned, to run a successful beauty competition in the 21st century, you must take bold, new actions. Sit down with your client and consider the core messages and objectives you want to promote. Use as many details as possible. Key questions to address in this meeting include:
- Does the core idea resonate with your audience?
- Can you prevent discrimination throughout the application process?
- Could your audience find the competition theme offensive?
- What do you want your contestants to achieve in the end?
- What messages do you want to convey to the spectators?
Define requirements
There should always be one central idea that ties the entire event together; otherwise, you cannot define your target audience. Even if your competition is about breaking barriers, there must be general guidelines to clarify gray areas for participants:
- Skin: One of the main criticisms of beauty contests is how much skin is shown. A well-defined policy on what is allowed protects you from legal issues. One safe approach is to ban certain types of clothing, such as only underwear or swimwear.
- Age: It’s essential to ensure that your participation rules are appropriate for the target age group.
- Background: Beauty contests often have specific behavioral and historical requirements. Make sure you have a ready list of clearly defined participation criteria before publishing any information about your competition.
Choose a spectacular venue (or not)
Ninety percent of beauty pageants are held in hotel ballrooms, so many people naturally associate beauty events with luxurious venues and spacious rooms. As an event organizer, you can either follow the trend or decide to break some stereotypes.
The golden rule here is to choose a venue that reflects your event’s atmosphere, dictated by the theme. For example, if you are hosting an eccentric contest with unusual costumes, even a parking lot could be perfect.
Make it thematic
Themed beauty contest
If you are a beauty contest enthusiast, you may have noticed that children’s beauty contests often involve characters like Barbie or princess themes. Themes build empathy, and empathy is a perfect tool for memorable events. Choose a unique concept that resonates with your competition’s message to make it stand out. Whether it’s a traditional Hollywood style or something wilder, like a yoga beauty contest, make it unforgettable.
Attract sponsors
Since beauty competitions usually attract significant media attention, these events can be an ideal way to promote a business. Create a list of local companies that might sponsor your pageant and craft a perfect presentation to demonstrate the value of their investment. Not only will this provide additional funding, but a strategic partnership can increase social media visibility and expand your network.
Winner selection plan details
Finally, establish the judging criteria for the competition and describe the evaluation process to both judges and participants.
Your plan should include a detailed voting system, a set of criteria, a vote collection mechanism, and a plan for oral feedback. Using software for voting and analytics can be useful, especially for large competitions. If you want a public evaluation, consider online tools with public voting modules that allow spectators to participate directly.
