Here's how you get started!

First you download an application from this website, type it and send it, along a snapshot
of yourself, and your $300 deposit. Be sure to specify your top two choices for local titles
that you would like to represent, just in case someone has already been awarded your first
choice, we will have a second choice to work with. Your local title should follow the format
of "Mrs. Your City(or)Town(or)County". Titles are awarded on a first come basis.

Once we have received your application, photo and $300 deposit, we will order and send
you a beautiful embroidered sash that you may wear while making personal appearances,
parades, etc., in your community. Once assigned, the local titles are valid immediately
through the 2013 Mrs. Mississippi America Pageant. You are NOT required to make local
appearances, but it is a lot of fun and can help you down the road when you are trying to
obtain sponsors for your entry fee and ad sales.

You are then required to sign a contestant agreement (emailed to you by our office) that
states that you will represent your “local title” in the Mrs. Mississippi Pageant of that
pageant year and maintain integrity, honor and decorum while representing the local title,
as well as the Mrs. Mississippi Pageant. The fees for the state pageant are $600, from
which you deduct the $300 you have already paid (local titleholder deposit), leaving a
balance of $300 due no later than the pageant deadline. You may, and are encouraged to,
obtain sponsors for all of your fees, and list their names beside your contestant
photograph in our beautiful Mrs. Mississippi online program book. You may offer to make
appearances as “Mrs. Your city/county” to sign autographs, etc., in exchange for
sponsorships from businesses. Car dealers are great about this, so are salons, malls,
clothing stores, etc.

Each contestant is also required to sell a minimum of $300 in advertisements in our online
program book. Any combination of ad sizes may be used to reach the $300 minimum.
The full color on line program book will remain posted on this web site until the spring of
the year following your competition year, or until the next year's program book replaces it.
A rate sheet will follow in your complete entry packet with the ad prices. Ad sales are due
by the pageant deadline (to be announced) along with all forms and paperwork. The
deadline for the 2013 Mrs. Mississippi Pageant for entry, all fees and all paperwork has
yet to be announced, but will be posted here once announced.

Upon receipt of your application, snapshot and deposit, we will let you know within just a
few days as to if you have been awarded the local title for which you applied. Please be
sure to list your first and second choice of titles.

Contestants are responsible for making their own reservations and paying for their own
lodging at the host hotel prescribed by the pageant for pageant weekend. The pageant
will negotiate a favorable group rate and will block rooms until a specified date for
contestants, friends & families to book within.

If you are forced to resign from your local title, or withdraw from the Mrs. Mississippi
competition after 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,
solely at the discretion of the pageant director(s).

You may pay your pageant fees, ad sales, etc., via personal check, credit or debit card, or
Paypal, through this web site. Just go to the "Pay Pageant Fees" tab on this web site and
follow the instructions. In the interest of time, you are encouraged to email your
application and snapshot and pay the deposit through this site, or you may mail it all to the
address below, along with your check or money order.
