Enter a
beauty pageant for a great experience, to gain confidence, to improve public
speaking skills, to meet new people and to win the prizes.
You can enter as a
contestant in a beauty pageant for different reasons. You may want to improve
your confidence level and public speaking skills. Some people enter pageants
just for the experience and also to meet new people. Another reason to
participate in a pageant is to win the prizes. Parents would have to make the
decision for their toddler, tween or teen to participate. As pageants are now
also open to adults, the middle-aged and the seniors, these adults have to make
the choice.
Beauty Pageants Can
be a Good Experience
Think of a beauty
pageant as a good experience for a tween, teen or adult. It is an opportunity
to showcase your beauty and talents. While pageantry has different rules from
high fashion modeling in relation to the walk, poses and photography, being a
contestant in a pageant can be a stepping stone into the world of modeling.
Another factor that would make it a good experience is the new things you learn
that can be applied to everyday life like learning to be more ladylike and
poised.
A Good Reason to
Enter a Pageant is to Gain Confidence
Gaining confidence
is good for any person of any age. Taking part in a pageant will surely help to
build a person's confidence because the event will be held in front of an audience
of friends and strangers. Even if a contestant does not win, the fact that she
participated is enough to lift her spirits and raise her confidence.
Improve Public
Speaking by Entering a Pageant
There are several
activities that young people can participate in to improve their public
speaking which include joining a drama group, sharing poetry or joining a youth
club. However, since most pageants have appearances at public events, an introduction
and possibly a question segment and interviews, this provides an excellent way
to improve public speaking skills. Pageants for older young ladies may also
have a platform speech segment which also requires additional research and a
longer time on stage sharing information.
Beauty Pageants Offer
Good Prizes
In the past,
winners of the Miss British Virgin Islands Pageant have won a new automobile
and a scholarship as well as the crown which the winner gets to keep. Some
pageants offer cash prizes and in some cases all the contestants receive
trophies, sashes, gift certificates or gift baskets. Potential contestants
should also note that once they have financial backing, they will get to keep
the costumes, gowns, shoes and accessories from the event.
Pageants are a
Great Way to Meet New People
A good reason to
enter a pageant is to meet new people. Any opportunity to meet new people
provides a chance for networking. A young lady or a toddler's parents will get
to know the other contestants, pageant organizers, make-up and hair-stylists.
New friendships can be formed and business linkages can be made through
pageants.
One might ask,
'What's a good reason to enter a beauty pageant?' Enter a beauty pageant for
networking, to improve confidence and to hone public speaking skills. Another
good reason is the opportunity to win the prizes and for the experience of
being on stage.
