We have three divisions to accommodate a variety of age ranges and marital statuses. Our Miss Division is open to women who are ages 21 to 39 who are single, married, divorced or widowed; with or without children. Our Mrs. Division is open to all married women who are at least 21 years of age; with or without children. Our Ms. Division is open to women who are age 40+ who are single, married, divorced or widowed; with or without children. You must be a naturally-born female to compete. You must be the appropriate age for your division by the time of the competition.

There are two titles available in each division. As such, six (6) women will be crowned at the national/international pageant. The states, regions, provinces and countries compete at the same time. The girl with the highest overall score in her division wins the Continental Worldwide title. The next highest score - who is also entered to win a USA title - wins the USA title. Those with appointed titles hold their titles for 30 days after the pageant. They have first right of refusal to retain their titles for another year at a reduced entry fee.

Appointed titles are awarded in states or regions where we do not currently have a state preliminary pageant. Appointed state or regional titles are awarded on a first come, first served basis. You may apply for an appointed title in any state or region as long as you either live or own property in the state for which you want to be appointed. Those with appointed state or regional titles are invited to compete at our national pageant. Appointed national titles are for women who wish to represent a country in which they live, or have a hereditary connection to, where we do not have a national pageant. There are no national appointed titles in the United States. We invite as many women as possible to represent! We want a full and fun international pageant! Those with appointed titles are responsible for their own transportation to/from and lodging at the national/international pageant.

No. You do not need to live in that state. However, you must work, attend school, or own property there. We would prefer that you choose a state in the region in which you live because appearances are required. Regional titles are a good choice if you choose to not represent the state of your residence.

We have four core areas of competition plus on-stage question: - Personal Interview: You will have the opportunity to speak with each judge, one-on-one for five minutes. You will be judged on how well you communicate and how well you are able to articulate your platform. Interview is worth 25% of your score. - Fitness: You will be judged on your physical fitness and how confidently you carry yourself on stage. You will wear a fitness wear outfit of your choice. No swimsuits. Fitness is worth 25% of your score. - Runway Fashion: This is where our fashion mavens really shine! You will be judged on how confidently you carry yourself on stage and how well you model your outfit of choice. Runway Fashion is worth 25% of your score. - Evening Gown: You will be judged on your grace and how confidently you carry yourself on stage. You will wear an evening gown of your choosing. It must be full-length. Evening Gown is worth 25% of your score. - On-Stage Question: For finalists only, you will be asked a question that you pull from a bowl. On-Stage Question is worth 5 additional points on top of your previous scores.

You will need an interview outfit, fitness wear, runway fashion attire (something reflective of your personality), evening gown, shoes, jewelry and a white cocktail dress for opening number. There are also non-judged events such as afternoon tea and our Diamonds & Pearls Gala, so you will need outfits for those events as well.

You have four, non-negotiable responsibilities as a titleholder: 1. You must help recruit new contestants to the Continental Worldwide International Pageant system. 2. You must make at least one appearance per month with your crown and sash. 3. You must promote yourself and the Continental Worldwide Pageant brand on social media. 4. You must sell a minimum of four tickets - in person or to the livestream - to the international pageant.

All appointed titles (state/regional and national) are $1009 and INCLUDE the cost of your $400 ad fee for the national/international pageant program book. There is an additional $100 entry fee, which can be paid on the Payments, to enter to win a USA title in the event you do not win a Continental Worldwide title. You can enter to compete only for the USA title. That entry fee is $775. All entry and appointed title fees can be broken down into three payments making it more affordable than ever to compete in the pageant. Your $50 fee at application reserves your title. Once your application is approved, you will be notified and we will announce your candidacy on our social media pages. Entry fees cover all production costs (theatre rental, set, music, lights, sound, staffing, etc.) You will also receive a beautiful, full round crown (specific to your division level), custom sash (for state/regional and national titles), most meals and all events during pageant weekend; and zoom meetings leading up to the state or national pageant. In addition to your entry fee, you are responsible for selling a minimum of four (4) tickets to the live pageant or live-streamed pageant. All entry fees and appointed title fees can be paid directly through our web site on the Payments page. While you may withdraw from the competition at any time, payments collected for application and entry fees, or ad pages are nonrefundable under any circumstances.

We offer a payment plan as well as Klarna to make paying your entry fees as easy on you and your budget as possible. If you go to the PAYMENTS page under the COMPETE tab in the navigation on this Web site, you will see there is an option to make three payments toward your entry fees. To break these down into smaller payments, you can use Klarna, which will allow you to make four (4), interest-free payments over eight (8) weeks. You will not receive your crown and sash until two of the three installments on the PAYMENTS page are made. To get your crown and sash more quickly, you could start a Klarna payment plan like this: Pay the first installment with Klarna this week, which will have you paying about $75 every other week toward this first installment. Then next week, you could use Klarna to pay the second installment, so you will end up paying about $75 per week for nine weeks. Klarna pays the Pageant immediately. As such, once you use Klarna to start paying on the second installment, your sash will be ordered and you will receive your crown and sash within a couple of weeks!

There are no refunds for any reason. We also cannot roll over entry fees paid into the next year if you are unable to compete in the year for which you applied. Titles are non-transferrable and cannot be sold. If you cannot compete, you can gift another contestant, but it cannot be a contestant who is already committed to a title within our system. If you want to gift your title, please email Loreen at loreen@continentalpageant.com. Arrangements must be approved by Loreen. If your entry fees are paid in full and are unable to attend the pageant, please see our Terms & Conditions.

If you are unable to pay your entry fees in full, and/or have not paid your entry fees in full and cannot compete for whatever reason, you are required to return your crown and sash. Until your entry fees are paid in full and you compete at the national/international pageant, your crown and sash remain the property of Continental Worldwide Pageant LLC. Please email Loreen Olney at loreen@continentalpageant.com to discuss. If you are paid in full, but are not able to attend the international pageant in Salt Lake City, please see our Terms & Conditions.
