| Barstow Children�s Pageant Philosophy
Competing in a pageant should be a fun and rewarding experience for both the child and parent. It is an opportunity for the child to meet other children with similar interests, gain confidence, self-esteem and a feeling of accomplishment. A pageant should also teach sportsmanship and self-improvement. Although every child wins a sash & crown or tiara, our exclusive titles are earned by the contestant, helping to instill in them at an early age, the importance of perseverance and humility. It should be the child�s desire to compete, if they are of an age to choose for themselves. For the parent, it�s a chance to teach a healthy competitive attitude, build character and share in the child�s accomplishments and success, whether they win a title or just finish what they started. It is important that children look like children. Any make-up for children should be extremely subtle. We want our titlists to learn the value of commitment and the importance of community service. We encourage that any Savings Bonds awarded be saved for the child�s college education � ~ PRIZES ~ Each participant will receive a crown or tiara, sash, trophy, keepsake memento & gift presented on stage � DIVISION WINNERS - Round Crown, beautiful embroidered Sash, Trophy, flowers, $100.00 Savings Bond, admission for self & 1 parent to Teen & Miss Pageant (will be presented on stage) 2 PRINCESS�S - per division (each having equal value) Tiara, embroidered Sash, Trophy & flowers DUCHESS - Remaining division entrants are to receive a Duchess Sash, Tiara & Trophy COVER MODEL - Photo on Front or Back of Program.
