How to Become A 2010
Mrs. Mississippi America Delegate

1) Download an application from this website, fill it out and send in along with a snapshot of yourself (this
photo and application will NOT be used for the state pageant judging); you will have plenty of time to submit
a professional photograph and a new application for the judges to see) and a $300 deposit toward your state
pageant entry fee of $600. You may either email it to me, or mail it to me at the addresses below. Please be
sure to specify on the top of the application the "local title" that you are applying for, along with a second
choice in case the title you want has already been assigned to someone else. Titles are awarded on a first come
basis, so if your application is received first, and you meet the above listed requirements, the local title will be
yours.

2) We accept personal checks or payment via Paypal, credit or debit card through the link below. The local
title is not officially yours until the application, snapshot and $300 deposit is received in the pageant office.
The local title will be yours from October 1st through the following September, including your participation in
the Mrs. Mississippi Pageant during that time frame. Upon receipt of your application, snapshot & deposit, we
will advise you within three business days of your acceptance as a contestant, and which local title you have been
awarded. If we find that you do not meet the entry requirements, your $300 deposit will be returned to you
immediately. Once accepted as a local titleholder, an embroidered sash will be ordered and sent to you. You may
wear this sash if you choose to do local charity work, parades, etc.in your community. Local community work is
NOT required to participate in the state pageant, but the more you are "out there" in the public eye, the easier
it will be for you to secure sponsors and ad sales for the state pageant.

3) You will also be required to sign a contestant agreement that states that you will represent your "local title"
in the 2010 Mrs. Mississippi America Pageant, June 25-26, 2010 in Southaven, Mississippi.

4) The fees for the state pageant are $600, from which you deduct the deposit of $300 that was sent in with
your application. This leaves a balance of $300 due by May 29, 2010. You may, and are encouraged to
obtain sponsors for all of your fees. You may list sponsor names beside your contestant photo in the program
book in recognition of their sponsorship. You may offer to make appearances with your local title to sign
autographs, etc.in exchange for sponsorships from businesses. Contestants are also responsible for their own
lodging on pageant weekend.

5) Each contestant is also required to sell a minimum of one full page ad in our program book. More info will
follow on ad sales upon your acceptance as a contestant. Ad sales, ads & money for ads are also due by May
29, 2010. Depending on how you decide to fill your page, (business card ads, quarter pages, half pages or a
single full page ad) the minimum cost of the full page ad is $350.

6) If you are forced to resign from your local title, or withdraw from the Mrs. Mississippi America
competition for any reason after any or all of your fees have been paid, no refund will be given. Depending on
the circumstance, a credit to participate in the following year's competition may be issued. This is solely at the
Director's discretion.

Please email your application, local title choice (1st & 2nd choice) and snapshot of yourself to:
info@mrsmississippipageant.com

If paying your deposit, entry fee or ad sales money via Paypal, credit or debit card, please make your payment
via the links on this web site under the "Pay Pageant Fees" tab. You may also mail your application, deposit
(check or money order) & photo to the address below.
