As a Pageant Director you will setup a Registration Table before your Pageant. The table is set up right next to the entrance to the room where the Beauty Pageant event is held. Anybody, meaning contestants and the audience, will have to pass this table. So its the registration table before the pageant and then its the ticket and sales table for the evenent.

I put out the folders for each division and include the entry forms in the folder. When the contestants show up they tell the person working the table what division they registered in. This makes it easier to confirm that they paid their fees and check off their arrival.

I’ll lay out the name tags and the numbers for each division as well.  Don’t forget to have a supply of pens and pencils available for the registrators and paper clips for your staff.

I also lay out some clean basic mailing envelopes.The reason for this is to facilitate the people who want access to the judges sheets. I want them to be able to see the judges sheets. But after the show you have a lot of stuff to pack up at the end of a long day. Dealing  with the sheets at this point is too time consuming.

So what I do is have them put their name and address on the envelope and I charge them $5.  A day or two after the Beauty Contest I’ll make copies, put it in the envelope and mail it to them.

The better organized you are before the show starts the easier and smoother it will run for you.

Yours in pageantry
