Categories and Judges Criteria
There are 4 required categories. The first category will have a prize for best presentation.
The following three categories will be judged to determine the winner of the pageant.
First Look (Not Judged)
1. Black and/or White Presentation: For this category you will wear your interpretation
of a Black and/or White look. This will be choreographed and the house music will be
provided. This is your first chance to make an impression on the audience. We are looking
for a strong and confident presentation to start the evening with excitement. There will be
a prize for presentaion in this category, chosen by a select and seperate panel of judges.
While this is an important look for the evening, it will not have an effect on your final
score towards winning the title.
2. EVENING GOWN COMPETION: (Judged) For your first judge look you will wear a
floor length gown. The gown may be any style, color, and material. Judges criteria include
but not limited to: Presentation of Gown, Make-Up, Hair, Style, Poise, and Stage presence.
3. TALENT COMPETITION: (Judged) Your talent presentation is limited to 3.5 minutes.
NO EXCEPTIONS! Judges criteria include but are not limited to: Talent, Poise, and
Presentation. You may include other performers in your presentation, however, it should
be noted that these additional will be considered when judging your performance. (Special
Note: Talent music must be in our hands ten (10) days prior to the pageant. In the event of
duplications, the contestant with the earliest postmark will perform the number and the
other contestant will be required to choose another selection.) PLEASE BRING A
BACK-UP COPY OF YOUR TALENT MUSIC!
4. SHOW GIRL COMPETITION: (Judged)This one is the “BIGGIE”. The glamorous
and glorious evening climaxes with the Las Vegas Show Girl/Headdress Look. It is to
your advantage to construct your headdress well. BALANCE is important. The look is
designed for glamourous and exciting. It is expected that this will be a strong presentation.
It should be "over the top" impresive. It should be large enough to create a spectacle but
contructed in a fashion that makes it seem as natural as everyday clothing. You are
expected to manage the costume while giving a strong and energenic presentation. Be
aware that your competition in this category will be BIG, however, BIGGER IS NOT
NECESSARILY BETTER. (House music will be provided for this category.)
In the event of a tie for, La Femme Magnifique International™ and La
Femme Plus International™, the following will apply:
The highest Score in Showgirl Presentation will be the first level tie breaker.
The highest score in Talent Presentation will be the second level tie breaker.
The highest score in Evening Gown Presentation will be the third level tie breaker.
In the unlikely event that we still have a tie at that time, we will poll the judges.
THE JUDGES DECISION WILL BE FINAL!!!!
