HeartShine offers four levels of pageant experience: Fundraiser Pageants/CIty Queen Pageants, Themed pageants, State and National level pageant events

Pageants By Experience-Level

Fundraiser Pageants

are simple, no-experience needed special events designed as a special charity event for an organization. They require only ONE outfit from start to finish and generally cost less than $100 to compete. Fundraiser Pageants include events like our Miss Courageous (Differently-abled), Summer-Harvest Pageant Events (aka Pageant in the Park), and the Gold Nugget Baby Contest.

Themed Pageants

are entry-level experiences that may require up to two outfits, and may offer limited "optional" contests such as Talent or Photogenic. These are excellent practice for State. They cost only $50 or $75 to compete, and are great for beginners who have never competed in a pageant before. Similarly, they require only three basic judged portions of overall competition which, typically, are: the Personal Introduction, the On-Stage Presentation, and On-Stage Question. However, each theme pageant is a little different, so look for more information on the specific Theme pageant you're interested in. Annual themed pageants include Mini-Miss California/Nevada, , Miss Peach Festival, Little Miss Peach Blossom, Miss Fourth of July, and Miss Sierra Nevada.

State Pageants

offer exclusive title packages and experiences that often take place over a three-day weekend . They are involved, competitive, and extraordinarily fun. Stat and National level pageants are the only level of HeartShine competition that offers the opportunity to win Scholarship for titleholders. Optional contests, sisterhood-building leadership activities, and resume-building community service titles are all a part of State pageants. State-level pageants require multiple outfit changes, preparation, and pre-registration. A short Personal Introduction, On-Stage Formal Walk in a full-length formal gown, Interview, and other segments of competition instill real-world skills in the contestants and offer unique leadership and friendship opportunities.
