REQUIRED COMPETITIONS
Interview (40% of total score)
The Interview competition is a great time to let the judges know just why they should pick you as the next Virginia state queen. Our judges are warm and friendly and are ready to have a conversation with each contestant. The judges just want to get to know who you are! The interview is a panel style in front of all the judges. Contestants in the Junior High, High School, and Collegiate divisions will have a 5 mintute interview. All contestants in the Elementary divisions will have a 2 minute interview. Contestants should wear a nice outfit for this competition.
FUN FASHION Runway (20% of overall score)
Each contestant will model an outfit of her own choosing. It must be age appropriate, and it should portray the contestant’s personal sense of style and fashion. It can be as simple or ornate as you would like. Choose an outfit that you would wear to a Hollywood Premier or Red Carpet Event.
