2012 JUDGES/JUDGING INFORMATION AND
PROCEDURES
Miss San Antonio Texas and Miss San Antonio Texas Teen pageants
are looking for young ladies who are beautiful inside and out.
They must be able to accept the responsibility of representing
the pageant, sponsors and community. They must conduct
themselves as positive role models at all times.
The winners may not have the highest score in any one category
of competition but will do well in all three categories. The
winners should display intelligence, poise, personality and
beauty.
The judging is divided into three categories:
Interview – The format will be panel style. The
judges will be divided into 2 or 3 panels. Each delegate will
have the opportunity to converse with a panel of judges (2 to 3
in each panel) for 3 minutes. The judges will seek a young woman
capable of expressing herself clearly, intelligently, and
confidently. This is your opportunity to impress the judges with
your opinions, ability to communicate, and overall sense of
self. They are not looking for rehearsed answers. Questions will
come primarily from the information you provide but be prepared
for anything.
Swimsuit – You should be healthy, natural, fit and
confident about your physical appearance. Physical measurements
are not considered by the judges.
Evening Gown – Judges focus on poise, overall
appearance, sense of fashion and style. No single detail of the
gown, hair or make-up should garner attention. The overall
effect should be elegant and sophisticated.
Special Awards – In addition to choosing the next
titleholders, other awards (voted on by a separate panel of
judges) to be presented are Miss Photogenic, Best in
Swimsuit, Best in Evening Gown & Prettiest Smile as well as:
a. Peoples’ Choice Award – For $1.00 per vote, the audience
votes on their choice for a best photo. The one delegate in the
Miss and the Teen divisions whose pictures raise the most money
receives the award.
b. Miss Congeniality – To be voted on by the delegates in
the Miss and Teen divisions.
Preliminary Competition – The judges are instructed to
make their own notes on a note sheet that is provided to them.
This note sheet contains the names of each delegate and the 3
areas of competition. After each phase of competition the judges
circle the names of their individual choice of Top Ten. They do
not turn in a numerical score, just the names. The names that
are circled the most determine the Top Ten.
Final Competition - The judges are instructed to make
their own notes on a note sheet that is provided to them. This
note sheet contains the names of each top ten delegate and
columns for onstage swimsuit and evening gown competition. After
each phase of competition the judges circle the names of their
individual choice of Top Five. They do not turn in a numerical
score, just the names. The names that are circled the most
determine the Top Five.
After an on stage interview judges are instructed to consider
all areas of the competition and rank the Top Five how they
would see them. In other words, who they feel the winner should
be then first runner-up, second runner-up and so on. That final
ranking determines the winners and runners-up.
Important Reminder
We do not pass on judge’s scores to anyone. All judges’
decisions are final.
