Direct Your Pageant 2012
Greeting from Louisiana!
Happy New Year!
I’m excited about the growing success with this website and the upcoming year of pageants on my slate. I’m also excited about sharing with you what I’ve learned about directing beauty pageants here on Direct Your Pageant.
This new format is a wordpress blog and I’m still learning how to properly set it up and use it. So there may occasionally be some glitches. Bear with me guys.
I’ve been getting request for people to register but I’m not ready to do that yet so I’ll ask all of you who want to participate to go ahead and leave comments on the articles I write. Just click the comment button at the bottom of each article.
Also wanted to tell you that I’m finished with the new and improved version of the Complete Directors Kit. The kit now contains my Video Journal to give you a behind the scenes look at how a director prepares for setting up and running a successful beauty pageant. The kit still includes all kinds of documents that you will absolutely need to be successful; letters, entry forms, a judges handbook, contracts, etc.
Because of the rough economy I’ve lowered the price from $199 to only $49.95. Thats a quarter of the original price. Its my way of giving back to the pageant industry.
Our Newest Pageant Sister site is up and running and loaded with information for the Pageant Newbie. Check us out and let me hear from you.

So stay tuned.
Yours in Pageantry,
Shelly
Hi Shelly — I am excited about finding this information about pagents. I was driving home today and the thought came to me about starting a pagent. Seeing how I have never done this, I am looking forward to the opportunity to reading all of your information.
Thanking you in Advance,
Kita
Hello Kita,
Congratulations on following your instincts and dreams. let me hear from you and how your pageant is coming along.

Hi Shelly,
I won several pageants before and I really want to start my own pageant and buy your awesome director’s kit but I am scared that I wont have enough money to invest on it. I would like to know how much will it cost me to start a small pageant like a “county” pageant with 30 contestants? (estimate.)
I am looking forward to your reply, you can reach me at via email at firandrup@yahoo.com .
Thank you for your valuable time.
Sincerely,
Fiona Mayo
Hello Fiona,
You can start a local pageant with as little as $300.00
$50 to regirster it with the Secretary of state’s office.
Build a basic website to advertise.
Have flyers printed and put them out everywhere.
If you are willing to do the leg work, YOU can make it happen!!!
Yours In Pageantry,

Hi Shelly,
I am wanting to start a pageant. How do I go about registering it with the Secretary of States office? Do you recommend how I should go about getting the word out on a new pageant? or how to get girls excited about it? Also, when is a good time to have one? Spring or does it matter?
Thank you so much,
Tonya Virtue
Hello Tonya,
First of all, once you have a Name for your pageant, Go to your State’s Secretary Of States Office website. Go to the Commercial section and print the TRADE NAME link. You should be able to print the trade name application.
Fill it out and mail it in with a check for the required fee and go to a Notary and have it notarized, You will need the filled out form and your drivers license. Our fee in Louisiana is $50.
The Internet is a powerful tool for marketing your pageant with face book, my space, U tube and Your Own Personalized Pageant Web site.
Any month is a good time to have a pageant and the summer months is the best time because the children are on summer break.
Choosing a Theme for your first pageant is an excellent idea and gets the contestants excited like Easter wear, red white & blue wear, swim wear, etc.
Yours In Pageantry,
Shelly
i want to plan and direct a tourism beauty pageant.what do i do?
Hello,
Google your state’s tourism web site and list the word pageant. You should be able to get information from this search. There most often will already have a pageant for the state and welcomes new local directors. Best Wishes.
Shelly
Hello Shelly,
I just purchased your kit today and am so excited to dig into it! It looks like it is all online, is that correct?
Also, is the business license needed for a pageant different than registering it with the Secretary of State’s office? Thanks so much for your help!!!

Thank you for information about the pageant industry. I think I will have fun directing pageants. Although I have not been in a pagent since high school I have been directing benefits and such on the side. And I feel that pageants will be a great asset to my list of skills. However, I was curious; I just viewed one of your videos on youtube.com and you said something about a free book. Please let me know if I am too late. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks a Million for your kind words of encouragement! I am thrilled that you have gained knowledge from the Director’s Kit.
Do you have a web site for your pageant yet? Let me know how you are doing and please feel free to refer your contestants from the age of 10 years and older to purchase the Pageant Success Blue Print E Course designed to coach and prepare the new potential contestants in their quest for the crown! As a director, it is vital to our production that our ladies are Prepared by knowing what to expect for a pageant competition!
It is my understanding that a business license is not required in producing beauty pageants. I have my Pageants registered with the Secretary Of States Office as Trade Names. My production company, Shelly’s Pageant Express Inc. is also registered.
You should ask this to an accountant or a business attorney. Best wishes to you.
Shelly
Beauty pageants are also great fund raising event. Thanks for the insight on beauty pageants.
I purchased the “direct your pageant” information this morning, but it did not download. Please Contact me with information on how to retrieve the information. Thanks!

Interesting. I could not imagine starting a beauty pageant for just 300$. It needs a lot of preparation. I was inspired when you present the breakdown of capital. Impressive.
Iam delighted in ur pageantry website my name is justinmicheals director of a ndmw pageantry establishment pls kindly assist me, i need some sponsors call me:08183725127
Thanks Shelly. The new site is great. And I really appreciate the lowered price for the kit. That makes it so much easier on all of us.
Generally I do not post on blogs, but I would like to ws sign say that this post really forced me to do so! really nice post.
Terrific, this information is exactly what I was searching for.
I have never organised a pageant before, and I am both scared and apprehensive, BUT I am sure I want to organise one. I have just moved to an area where the youth terrorise adults and vandalise businesses. Local businesses, community and voluntary groups have tried all sorts of different ideas and projects. Some have worked for a while, and others have failed woefully, but I feel this venture will make the young people work hard to change the image of the area by themselves. I am planning to stick with your site like glue, because I worry about starting events that may not work, or that people may not attend. Thank you for putting out so much information. I have an idea of venue, one hotel and one community theatre, but when is a good time to start out for the first time. Thanks
I like one
It never crossed my mind to direct my own pageant. But I never thought that it can be a heavy task even if you are just organizing a small pageant.

As far as i know, organizing a pageant is not that easy. There are lots of factors which make it difficult. The availability of the participants should be consider. Anyway, reading your article makes me feel at ease.
