Talent is required to be 2 minutes or less (a Miss America
requirement), props restricted and discouraged, no accompanist - only
soundtracks. MUST turn in TWO copies (preferably on CD) of your
talent music.
Evening wear competition includes two on-stage questions. This pageant
recommends minimizing costs and buying "off the rack" if
possible.
All rehearsals and interviews are mandatory
unless otherwise authorized by a pageant official, in particular the
executive directors. All contestants must be on time. Failure to attend
all mandatory events may result in expulsion from the pageant.

talent CDs - DUE 9/17/06, but turn in sooner if possible!
Birth Certificate Due ASAP/now! Award given for
promptness of paperwork and requirements.
Competition wardrobe must be approved by a pageant official, can be
reviewed at the early rehearsals, or the dress rehearsal.
No PARENTS, FAMILY, HAIRDRESSERS, MAKE UP ARTISTS, or COACHES allowed
backstage. The pageant will provide some assistance with hair and
make-up. Contestants are encouraged to use this as a learning experience
to do such things for themselves. At the state pageant, they are
responsible for getting themselves ready!
No CAMERAS or VIDEOS are allowed during the competition. The pageant
will have a photographer & videographer, and you will be allowed to
buy packages in advance.
All tickets and money must be turned in by October 15th, 2006 (the last rehearsal, one week before the pageant), preferably
sooner. You are personally responsible for any lost tickets or ticket
money.
The North Florida Scholarship Organization, Inc. or pageant staff of
the Miss Jacksonville/First Coast Scholarship Pageant will offer special
assistance, training, and wardrobing tips to those contestants who
obtain their own sponsors and sign a contract. SPECIAL
NOTE: Once you have made a commitment with a sponsor and signed the
contract, you will then be offered assistance and training in interview,
wardrobe, etc. Upon obtaining your own sponsor, you can then make your
talent selection and request a tentative contestant line-up number. The
Miss America system does not require the Pageant to offer any
training in interview, makeup, or wardrobing.
PROOF OF RESIDENCE must be provided in the form of copies of 2 of the
following: current Fla. driver's license or Florida auto registration
issued at least 6 months, current voters registration card or written
statement from the voting registrar of valid current registration in the
Jacksonville area or within the designated radius, current lease in the
contestant's name for housing in the Jacksonville area or within the
designated radius, current utility bills in the contestant's name
showing residence in the Jacksonville area or within the designated
radius. The above should indicate your residence in the pageant area for
at least 6 months prior to the pageant date.
