Instructions for completing the Platform Essay
|
The Platform Essay must be completed in
essay form and turned in with the contestant's Fact Sheet/Resume. |

four sides of the paper. Do not use font style smaller than 10 point or
larger than 12 point. |
Examples in Times New Roman:
This is my platform information. 9 point - too small
This is my platform
information. 10 point - okay to use*
This is my platform
information. 11 point - okay to use*
This is my platform
information. 12 point - okay to use*
This is my platform information. 14 point - too big |
| In your platform essay, you should address the following points: |
| Overview of your platform. (What it is.) |
| How the title of Miss Jax/FC will help you to promote your platform. |
| What your plan would be as Miss Jax/FC to involve others in your
platform. |
| Include significant accomplishments that you have made in your
platform and future platform related goals. |
| Your essay must be signed and dated and, in doing so, you are confirming
the truth and accuracy of both. |
| Put enough in the essay that the Judges are informed about your platform
and plans and have enough to ask you questions on, however, if you put so
much information into your essay that you can not elaborate further, there
won't be much to talk about during your interview that you haven't already
told them. Find a good balance of what you decide to discuss versus what
you decide to share with them in the interview. |
