Frequently   Asked   Questions

1. How do you enter? All you need to do is email, call, or stop by Jack N' Jill in the Richmond Mall for an entry form. Fill out that entry form with a deposit and mail or drop off by the deadline stated on the form.

2. Is there an entry fee? Yes, there is an entry fee ~ BUT you can enter free! There are always (3) ways listed on the entry form so that you don't have to come up with anything out of your pocket. You can sell ads for our program books, sell chances on a Wal-Mart gift card, or refer others to the pageant.

3. Does my child have to go out alone? Absolutely Not! Children can be accompanied by a family member on stage. They will not be counted off for this, we want them to be as comfortable as possible!

4. Can contestants wear make-up? This is a natural pageant, but you can wear light make-up on younger contestants. Just be sure not to wear "adult" level of make-up. Teen and Miss of course may wear heavier make-up as they normally do daily. If you have questions, just email or call.

5. What type of clothes do they need? Usually with Natural Dolls there are two outfits to be worn. The first would be a traditional pageant dress, tuxedo, or Sunday best outfit. The other outfit usually revolves around the holiday wear. There can't be any custom designed pageant dresses. This means that you can't have a dress that has been custom designed. A good rule of thumb is that if you bought it from a store or e-store and the dress has a tag in it, it's accepted! We just want everyone to have an equal chance!

6. Do you need pageant experience, my child has never done a pageant before? This is a great "starter" pageant! Lots of our contestants have entered for the first time, and enter time and time again for the positive experience. You don't need modeling or pageant experience because Natural Dolls focuses on natural facial beauty and personality! That's why modeling or attire are very little of your score!

7. Does everyone get something? Our slogan is "Where kids come first" and we know what kids want! You don't want to see your child on stage looking at someone else's crown, trophy, or toy ~ So that's why each and every contestant will win at the least, a beautiful rhinestone crown, custom made trophy, and name brand toy!

8. Can you just show up at the pageant and enter there? No, there is always a deadline. You must enter by the deadline. The reason for this rule is that we do give each child gifts and toys, we must know ahead of time how many to have. We want to make sure everyone has what they win! If you do miss a deadline by a day or so, just call the offices and we will try to work with you.

9. How long has this pageant been around? Natural Dolls USA was formed a little over 4 years ago, however Shianne Pageant Productions has been directing pageants for nearly 8 years. We also direct for the Kentucky Festival Pageant Association.
