Multi-State Pageants .....a good thing?

Have you ever wondered why, when you're looking for a pageant in your state you'll end up on a site to a competition listing four or five states?

  

Well, welcome to the world of the multi-state pageants !!!  Some directors, primarily on the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic region, find it to be a cost saver or a way to increase their candidate pool.  Unlike the massively large states of California, Texas, or Florida.....tiny states in the East (Maryland, Delaware, Maine, Rhode Island) often have a hard time recruiting contestants.

It's not a bad thing, it's actually pretty fun....especially when you competing in a state preliminary.  What's more fun than heading to a national pageant already knowing someone!!!  Makes roommate selection pretty easy :-)

So the next time you searching for Miss DC Pretty and Smart and you wind up on Miss DC/VA/NH/VA - don't be shocked, it could be a very good thing!
