Judges:

  • A minimum of 4 judges will evaluate delegates in the five areas of competition:  Photogenic, Interview, Swimsuit, Fashion, Evening Gown.  All areas of competition are equally weighted at 20% each.

  • Harrison Productions, LLC. has sole discretion and complete authority to select judges.

  • Reasonable efforts are made to secure a culturally and professionally diverse panel of judges.

  • Judges' names are not released to delegates prior to arrival at the pageant.

  • Delegates may not approach the judges or engage in conversation with judges prior to or during the competition.  Delegates who are observed approaching a judge or engage in conversation with a judge beyond a brief greeting risk immediate disqualification at the discretion of Harrison Productions, LLC.

  • Judges are provided with training and instruction regarding scoring procedures prior to the competition.

  • The decision of the judges is final and not contestable for any reason.

Scoring:

Scoring is conducted on a 10-point scale:

  • 9-10 = Excellent

  • 7-8 = Very Good

  • 5-6 = Good

  • 3-4 = Average

  • 1-2 = Below Average

Breaking Ties: 

The following procedure is used to break ties:

  • Each judge will assign the Top 5 finalists a ranking from 1 to 5 (1 = “Winner”, 5 = “4th Runner-Up”.)  A ranking of 1st = 5 pts, 2nd = 4 pts, 3rd = 3 pts, 4th = 2 pts, 5th = 1 pt. Points earned from rankings are added to the delegates’ scores.

  • If the rankings do not resolve the tie(s), the higher individual competition score will determine the higher placement in this order:  Interview, On-Stage Question, Photogenic, Evening Gown, Fashion, Swimsuit.

  • In the absence of ties, judges are not asked to provide rankings.
