Little Miss Arizona

It is important to note here that the local government of Arizona does not organize any kind of “little miss” or “teen” pageant. Young girls in Arizona that are wishing to accept the Miss USA crown and well, be named as the most beautiful woman in America must wait until they are at least 17 to be able to do so. They need to be at that age to be able to join a nationally-sponsored pageant and get to compete state-wide. But in the meantime, they can participate in local pageants that are organized by private institutions as fund raisers. This is not disheartening at all; it is good to consider joining ‘unofficial’ pageants as a first step in becoming Miss USA. Those who are active in joining local competitions will be more prepared than those who will join Miss Arizona USA without any experience, surely enough.

Remember, it takes a great deal of hard work to compete for and win in any beauty content; do not underestimate the categories that you will encounter even in a local beauty contest, may that be a little miss Arizona pageant or a teen beauty competition. Basically, beauty pageants throughout the country run under strict guidelines. There are four phases of competition that you should keep in mind. One is the interview which makes for 40% of the final score. Of course, there is also the talent portion which makes for 30% of the final score. And then there is the evening wear as well as the swimsuit portion which both make 10% of the final score.

The thing to note while waiting for your 17th birthday and keeping yourself busy in participating in local beauty contests is that the Miss Arizona Pageant concentrates on four things: talent, public speaking, community service and physical fitness. You can learn how to improve yourself when it comes to those aspects by joining local beauty contests, simply put.
