On Stage Questions

Many of our pageants require an on-stage question as part of the contestant's overall score. We do this because we believe that our contestants are more than just pretty faces. We believe they possess great poise and confidence; and are able to articulate clearly their thoughts, feelings, and passions with others.

We desire that you will always be ready to shine your brightest when given your moment in the spotlight. We have compiled a list that will be randomly selected from when asking a question on stage. These questions are broken down by age groups, so you will only be asked questions appropriate to your age. Look over these questions and consider what your answer would be. Try to avoid using short or one-word answers, but you can rest assured that the content of your answers is less important than your ability to articulate your answer with poise, speak confidently, and spread positivity.
