MISS BANNING INTERVIEW/SPORTSWEAR
Contestants in age division 4 and up will be seen by a separate panel of judges and will be asked a few questions that are "age" appropriate. Interview attire will be the official Miss Banning t-shirt and your choice of black pants, skort, skirt or capris. Footwear should be white socks and white tennis shoes, no high heels or sandals. This attire has been obtained so that during the interview all contestants will be judged fairly. When the interview is complete the contestants will line up by division to go on stage for their sportswear competition.
The criteria used for scoring the interview include:
overall first impression, personal appearance, intellect, personality, vocabulary, grammar and response in context. The judges are given 5-10 minutes to ask a variety of questions.
