Application Process

 

Our competitors have to be nominated before an application is even given to a potential contestant. This ensures that we are interviewing contestants that are revered in their community. After an application is given and returned an interview is conducted with the applicant. All applicants that make it past the interview round will go to an application committee. The committee will determine the applicants with the strongest record of service, achievements, accomplishments and interview etiquette. (Competitors 12 and under have a simplified application process.)

 

Now don't let the application process deter you from applying. We want the best of the best competing in our pageants. Not the candidate with the prettiest face or the deepest pockets.  Instead we are looking for Men and women with verifiable records of accomplishments, inner beauty, leadership qualities and much more. If you are selected as a candidate you should be overwhelmingly proud of your accomplishments and ready to compete with the WORLD's ELITE competitors.

Competition Phases and Judging Criteria

Ages 3+

There are five areas of competition in the Miss Mr. International Elite pageant system. The total score breaks down into one-third speaking ability, one-third stage presence, and one-third modeling and poise. This section will review each phase of competition and explain the judging criteria.

 Each contestant is scored individually, not comparatively. Each competitor is scored immediately after each phase of competition. The Olympic Scoring System is used. Scores are 1-10, whole numbers only. The highest and lowest scores are dropped.

A note on wardrobe selection: Always choose something that suits your personality and is something contemporary, that you would select to wear out in public. You are judged on the total look, not the outfit itself or price of the outfit.  Choose a style, color, and fit that is becoming to you.


PRIVATE INTERVIEW
The interview will be conducted during the day of the pageant. It is 15% of the total score. Your wardrobe selection should be age appropriate and could be pants, skirt or dress. Choose something that you would wear for a job interview.  You will enter the room with the other contestants in your age division. Questions are on general topics, current events, items from your resume and your platform essay. This is your opportunity to let the judges get to know you. The judging will emphasize your poise in handling the questions and how well you articulate your beliefs on the issue, not the position you take.

The judges are looking for: overall first impression, qualities and attributes of Miss/ Mr. International Elite, positive role model, knowledge and understanding of platform, ability to fulfill job responsibilities, confident and commanding presence, personality, appearance and attractiveness, validated opinions and responses, ability to express feelings and defend beliefs, energy, intelligence, and communication skills (speech, vocabulary, and grammar).
