CONGRATULATIONS 2017 CINDERELLA STATE FINALISTS,

We are excited to have you apart of the Washington State Cinderella Scholarship Pageant. Your experience will be filled with fun that you will never forget. Cinderella is one of the most prestigious programs of its kind in Washington State. The pageant offers an outlet for recognition and achievement for beautiful and talented young ladies with ambition; however, the most important aspect of the pageant is not the winning of a crown or trophy, but rather the rewards of participation and the opportunity to make lifetime friendships with other aspiring young ladies from Washington. If these attitudes are foremost during your participation, then you will go home with a sense of personal satisfaction. It is our sincere desire to make the states pageant a worthwhile growing experience for every participant. I am excited to have you join us this year at our State Finals. This is the first step in making your Cinderella Dreams Come True.

Best of Luck from all of us at the Washington State Office, Ms. Jen Washington State Director 9130 Washington AVE NW Silverdale WA 98383 360-509-0469 info@wacinderella.com www.wacinderella.com

JUDGING: The adjudication at an official Cinderella Scholarship State Pageant is always of the highest, unexcelled quality with an experienced panel of judges using a point and consultation system. The judge’s decision is always final and no posting of the ballots or rating permitted. DO NOT ASK THE JUDGES FOR COMMENTS after the pageant, as they are NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE PERSONAL CRITIQUES. Personal critiques will be available at the director’s discretion following the pageant. All participants will appear in Interview/Baby Playtime, Party Dress (Formalwear for Teens and Cinderella Women), Casual wear and Talent/Tot Personality…making all participants eligible for the Cinderella Overall Title, Beauty Awards and Talent Awards (Tot Personality Award for the 3-6 age division). All participants will introduce themselves at the microphone during their Casual wear presentation. The judges will NOT be searching for “miniature adult” in the children’s divisions. Likewise, the judges will NOT be looking for a “college age” prototype in the teen division. The Cinderella Pageant is looking for natural, wholesome representatives to carry the official Cinderella titles. Your pageant wardrobe (other than your competition garments) should be casual…but neat! Do NOT overdress for informal occasions!

CINDERELLA BEAUTY JUDGING CRITERIA: The ‘Cinderella Beauty” and her alternates are selected from their ranking in close-up appraisal (interview), party dress and casual wear. Cinderella is more than just a “beauty” pageant and the judges will be asked to consider the “total contestant” and not just the physical appearance. Inner beauty, grooming, poise, stage presence and self-confidence are an important part of the criteria to select the “Cinderella Beauty” winners. All participants are eligible and compete on an equal basis for the “Cinderella Beauty” awards.

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF A STATE OVERALL WINNER: Winners of an official Cinderella title are to conduct themselves with the dignity of the important title they hold. This is in accordance to the Official Cinderella Scholarship Pageant Royalty Handbook. Failure to proceed to the next level of competition (Exception: Illness or an act of God) will cause automatic forfeiture of the title and all rights thereof. The title will not have to relinquish if reasonable notice is given and the circumstances for not attending the next level pageant are deemed unavoidable by the state director; however, the Beauty Winner will be eligible to fill the position at the next level of competition. If no talent was entered at the state Finals then the Talent Winner will fill the position at the next level of competition. Official Cinderella Scholarship Pageant crowned Overall winners may not compete in any other beauty pageant with a “next level” of competition without the permission of their pageant director (unless they are competing for a specific title within a specific field). Local winners may resume competition with their director’s permission if they have paid their deposit indicating that they plan to attend the state pageant. Winners who do not fulfill their duties by attending the state pageant will be required to pay their state deposit before entering a preliminary pageant the subsequent year. State winners (with the approval of the state director) may resume competition after they have participated in the international finals. Those state winners who do not attend the international finals forfeit all awards. International winners may not compete in any other pageant until they have crowned their successors and must agree to abide by all rules and regulations as stipulated in this handbook. Overall Queens must attend 70% of all State Appearances & Required State Finals to Crown there Successor in order to receive cash award. (This includes Annual Holiday Party, Queens Trip, Workshops, and Preliminary & State Pageants etc.) Overall, Queens are required to purchase State Wardrobe & costumes as directed by the State Office, items must be worn by all state queens and payments must be received by required date for ordering. Estimated yearly cost is $500 includes warm up, state/International clothing, this is to insure all queens follow the same wardrobe and ordering guidelines. Cinderella Babies & Cinderella Woman Division Overall Winners have an option to attend Cinderella Internationals, this is not mandatory. Cinderella Babies Division Queens will have an opportunity to attend appearances throughout the year as royalty. In addition, they can also compete at Washington State Preliminaries. Cinderella Babies reign ends approximately 1 month or at last preliminary prior to State which give the Cinderella Babies eligibility to participate at the state pageant.

ROYALTY MEETING: Following Finals 2017 Overall Queens and one Chaperone will be required to meet, Sign Queen Agreements, and review International Requirements. All other state winners who would like to attend Internationals be sure to contact state office for state team information.

CONDUCT: At all official Cinderella Pageants the emphasis is placed on the participants and chaperones displaying good manners and grooming, listening to and acknowledging instructions, adjusting to conditions, maintaining discipline and dependability, and above all, displaying excellent sportsmanship at all times. Any parent, teacher, guest, director or participant who conducts themselves in an unsportsmanlike/unladylike manner (before, during, or after an official Cinderella Pageant) will be subject to immediate dismissal from the pageant system. Such conduct on the part of the participant & Chaperones will mean automatic forfeiture of all awards and no refunds will be given. NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES will be allowed in or around the staging area or public areas of the staging facility were contestants may be. This rule is enforced throughout the Cinderella Pageant System and includes participants, parents, staff, directors and guests viewing the event. Any violation of this rule will mean immediate disqualification from the pageant system. Smoking by participants is strictly prohibited. Young ladies, chaperones, and guests who cannot observe the rules of the pageant are asked not to attend. NOTE: Disqualification from an official Cinderella event is a serious offense.

Please note the judges are instructed to use discretion in determining whether a participant has violated this rule and if such artifices are immediately discernible to the judges’ panel, the contestant may be disqualified. Cosmetic dentistry is permissible. A “standard of modesty” must be maintained throughout the pageant (includes interview attire, casual wear, talent, and party dress attire along with your everyday wear around the pageant facility). All restrictions must be turned in at registration and in writing by a medical professional.

LIMITATIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY: The pageant will NOT assume the responsibility for lost articles or personal property and is NOT responsible for accidents, mishaps, or the personal care of the participants.

Each participant’s parents or official guardian MUST sign the official liability release form, which is included on the state entry forms.

PHOTOGENIC GIRL: At State Finals, the “Photogenic Girl” photos will be included in the “State Program Book”. Contestants are judged for state “Photogenic Girl” titles. Photogenic competition is included in the competition fees. Each participant is required to turn in at registration one vertical headshot photo up to size 8x10 and must look like pageant contestant. This should be the same photo submitted for the State Program Book. On the back of the photograph, include the participant’s name, division. DO NOT WRITE DIRECTLY ON THE PHOTOGRAPH. A label works best! It will be at the judge’s discretion to score down the photo if not the correct size listed above. The Photogenic Girl division is an important part of the Cinderella Pageant. It was designed to give recognition to those young ladies with special photographic qualities and creativity and has become a valuable asset to those participants seeking careers in the modeling industry. The “Photogenic Girl” in each age division will be selected if there is more than two contestants in the division. Judging may consist of photographic beauty, captured personality or mood, composition, and the technical quality of the photograph. Photographs must not have trophies, crowns, or banners won at previous pageants. All participants compete on an equal basis and the judges will not know the placement or titles of the participants at previous preliminary pageants. The “Photogenic Girl” winner in each age division will receive a Tiara, banner & trophy.

DID YOU KNOW? All participants who attend the State Pageant compete on an equal basis. What this means to you is the judges are not informed of past awards received in the program. This allows State Overall Winners, Beauty Winners, Talent Winners, Photogenic Winners, Special Award Winners and even Contestants At Large to compete on a “level” playing field. Anyone is eligible to win awards at the State Pageant without regard to the other titles and awards the participant may have received in the past! Cinderella prides itself on its emphasis on fairness and integrity!

The participant with the best onstage interview is named the International Tot Personality Winner.

MODELING PROCEDURE: The official CINDERELLA RUNWAY/MODELING MUSIC will be used at the state finals for all modeling divisions. The music is precisely timed so that each participant has approximately the same amount of time on the runway.

Girls 7/23-29 2017

CINDERELLA COVER GIRL/COMMUNITY SUPPORT: One of the most exciting and innovative features of the International Finals is the special Cinderella Cover Girl contest.

One winning photograph in each Cinderella Babies & Cinderella Girl divisions will appear on the special Cover Girl page in the front section of the program book. These winners, along with the other contestants are also eligible to win the Community Support Award for the participant selling the most advertising (see "Additional Advertising").

SELECTING YOUR WARDROBE: The Cinderella Pageant was designed not to be a “clothes show” and your pageant wardrobe should be kept simple and appropriate for your age group. The judges will be judging the participants and NOT their wardrobe. Flaunting an overly expensive wardrobe is often detrimental to the participant’s image as a wholesome, unaffected, all-American girl. Your wardrobe should include several fresh, casual garments for meal functions and rehearsals. The judges often see the participants between judging sessions, so having a neat appearance at all times is important. Every participant will have garments in her own wardrobe that are appropriate for the state pageant (having all “new” clothes is not necessary). Shorts may be worn as “casual wear” for parties and luncheons. Your competition wardrobe should consist of one (1) presentation party dress to be worn during Party Dress competition. Ages 3-12 must wear a short, knee length dress (recommended 1-2” above knee). Ages 13-26 should wear full-length formals. You should have one (1) presentation casual wear outfit that is casual and useful (may include slacks, shorts...BUT NO SWIMSUITS OR COSTUMES.) Props such as tennis rackets, sunglasses, hats, purses, etc. are NOT allowed during Cinderella modeling competition; however, gloves may be worn but are not recommended for modeling presentations. You will also need an interview dress or suit that should be tailored and simple. Ankle length dresses, dressy shorts or miniskirts are not acceptable for party wear competition. In order that the judges will not be aware of title or placement at the previous pageant level, crowns and banners are NOT to be worn at any time during the pageant. ALL CONTESTANTS COMPETE ON AN EQUAL BASIS IN STATE COMPETITIONS!

PRODUCTION NUMBER: Mandatory White Shorts & White Shoes worn to production practice with your state shirt & Contestant number given at registration. We will be taking photos at all our production practices. For Final Production Number you come in your Party Wear Competition outfit.

CAMEO GIRL STATE COMPETITION: Cameo Girl Competition takes place the day before WA State Cinderella State Finals on 3/17/17. The Cameo Girl Pageant requires participant’s 3-7 & 8-12yr model in Party dress and 13 & over model in full length Formal wear. The participants will be required to state their name, age and hometown at the microphone during their modeling presentation. The introduction will take place during the first "rhythm void" in the official modeling music just before the participant makes her turn for the judges. If less than three contestants per division, divisions maybe combined or Cameo Pageant maybe cancelled. Age divisions posted at registration. Three Cameo Girl Winners will receive $25 towards 2017 International Cameo Fees, along with official crown trophy and banner. It is a great way to “Warm Up” for Cinderella State!

PRESS INFORMATION: The Cinderella Scholarship Pageants are newsworthy events and should garner excellent coverage from your local news media. In order to get the best coverage you should alert your friends and family across the state to request information about the state pageant (before, during and after) from their local news sources. This should begin now. If the media is alerted that a local participant is representing your community at the official state pageant and they have been contacted beforehand, they should offer excellent publicity. Ask your director for a press release.
