How did you hear about the pageant? What is a Title? Once an applicant becomes a contestant, she will select a title under which she will compete in the State Pageant. These titles are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. You can choose a title based on your hometown (Scottsdale, Phoenix, etc), your county (Maricopa County, Pima County), or a 'catch phrase' (Grand Canyon, Copper State, Pinnacle Peak, etc.). The other options are the city or county in which you work or attend school, OR the name of your biggest financial sponsor (Valley View Bank, Ed's Car Repair, Chilli's Restaurant, St, Joseph Hospital, etc.) Should you start with a traditional City, County or "catch phrase" title and at a later date wish to change to a sponsor title you will always have that option! Please remember, this title is for pageant competition purposes only and is not a title you won; therefore, it is not to be used for any appearances without prior written permission of the pageant office. You may utilize your title in notifying the local media of your participation in the pageant; but, you must use the provided press release, and may not grant any actual interviews without prior written permission of the pageant office. You may also use your title to inform potential sponsors in the area you will be representing. Any misuse of the title can result in the title being revoked and your disqualification from the pageant competition. The sooner you return this form with your registration fee, the sooner your title can be assigned. Every effort will be made to give you one of your top choices. If none of your choices are available, you will be contacted and we will work with you to find a title that you like. Having a title is fun and very helpful. It will help the audience and press know who each contestant is representing throughout pageant weekend, and can be a valuable tool as you solicit sponsorship from your local communities. Upon receipt of this form, the Preliminary Contract, and your Entry Fee, you will be notified of your title and an Official Contestant Packet will be emailed to you!
