As an official State Contestant, you will receive an embroidered sash with your competition title and find out what it's like to be a State Titleholder. These sashes are similar to those worn by our State Titleholders, padded and made of satin material. You may participate in parades, charity events, media interviews etc. You must get prior approval from our office (use the Appearance Form below) before ANY appearances made with your sash. You can wear your sash whenever you approach potential advertisers or sponsors without submitting the appearance form.
YOU MUST USE YOUR TITLE APPROVED BY THE PAGEANT OFFICE.
Your complimentary sash is for your own personal use. They are a wonderful keepsake, and an opportunity to gain recognition in your community as you seek support and make any appearances. You may be asked to bring your embroidered sash to the pageant so please keep it clean and do not lose it. Each contestant will also receive a "competition sash" during pageant weekend to wear on stage.
Please allow 5-6 weeks for delivery.
You will be directed to PayPal after submitting your contestant sash order form if you select express shipping.

A color headshot of you will appear on the contestant lineup pages of the official pageant program book and on your contestant profile for the judges. The photo will not be posted on the official state web site, but will be used for the People’s Choice voting on the Warriors for Ross web site. Your photo does not need to be a professional headshot. You can have a family member or friend take a headshot on a phone, just select a neutral background with good lighting. DO NOT submit a selfie or wear a crown/sash. To ensure a quality print in the program book it should be a high resolution image (300 DPI) at least 3 inches x 5 inches in size. This photo can be the same one you use on your required ad page.
If you send a revised photo please put REVISED PHOTO before your name and title in the subject line.
Email your photo along with your name and title to the appropriate state address below.

You are required to sell one full page ad valued at $800 in the official program book. You may sell your full page to one sponsor (business, family member, or friend) or feature multiple sponsors. How you design your ad layout is totally up to you, but it must be submitted to the pageant office ready for print. The required full page ad will not only give your sponsor(s) exposure to people all over the state, but it is tax-deductible as an advertising expense. Your full name must be included somewhere on the ad. The ad is showing support of YOU! Ad examples are provided above, but feel free to be creative with your design! We are offering a complimentary ad layout that includes your photo, name, title and “Good Luck! - Family and Friends”. Please inform the pageant office if you are choosing this layout instead of submitting a print ready ad.
Ad Specs:
8-3/4” wide x 11-1/4” high
Trim size is 8-1/2” wide x 11” high.
Please keep text 1/4” away from trim.
E-mail your high-res (300 dpi) PDF, TIF, EPS, or JPG file (include your name and title) to the address below that pertains to the state pageant you are competing in. The email subject line should be “Required Ad Page file for (your name)”. AD MUST BE PAID IN FULL TO COMPETE IN THE PAGEANT AND BE INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM BOOK. AD FILE MUST BE SUBMITTED NO LATER THAN THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE STATE PAGEANT.
You may have a sponsor (business, family member, or friend) that would prefer to purchase their own full page ad in the official program book as a way to support you. This additional ad page purchase would be in addition to your required ad page. An additional ad page sells for $400, but you can sell the ad to your sponsor for any amount you choose. This is a great way to give YOU and your sponsor additional exposure during the pageant weekend and a great way for them to wish you good luck and best wishes.
