In the case of a Natural Pic theme: Contestants may not submit pro pageant (done by a photographer who shoots glitz pageant photos) or retouched photos.
If a photo is suspected of being retouched, the contestant will be contacted to confirm whether or not the photo in question has had work done. The contestant will be given the opportunity to correct the entry. If the photo still shows obvious signs of retouching, the judges will likely choose a different contestant for the main competition titles. PLEASE DO NOT send retouched photos for the natural competition. Breaking this rule is grounds for relinquishment of titles and prizes without refund. Frames or vignettes added by portrait studios are not considered "retouching", though a photo may be cropped for posting purposes.
*A Grand winner may enter the following month's contest with any photo other
than her winning photo from the previous month. A Grand winner may enter her winning photo in the contest after a 1 contest waiting period. For example: A Jan/Feb GRAND may enter her winning photo in the May/June competition.
A contestant MUST BE ENTERED IN GRAND to qualify for the Grand Prize Package. *Awarded certificates may not be combined. Each certificate may be applied to a single order only from the boutique or vendor. Certificates expire 2 weeks after the announcement of winners.
*Winners will be posted on the website on the 22nd of each month unless otherwise posted on the homepage.
*We accept entries from international contestants, but if the contestant wins a mailed prize package, she must provide a US address to which we can ship her package, or pay additional international S&H fees for any mailed prizes.
New Rule Beginning June 21, 2009:
**PLEASE NOTE** If there are exactly 4 (5 - if the Grand is pulled from this division) contestants in a division, only the Supreme and Mini-Supreme categories will be judged. The 2 remaining contestants will receive the queen titles. (This rule is intended to resolve the issue of one contestant being singled out as being the only contestant left out of the Royalty Court.)
SPONSOR PRIZES MUST BE CLAIMED FROM THE SPONSORS DIRECTLY. WE CANNOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILTY FOR THE REDEMPTION OF SPONSOR PRIZES. IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS CLAIMING A PRIZE, PLEASE REPORT IT TO OUR OFFICES SO THAT WE CAN CONTACT THE SPONSOR AND/OR REMOVE THE PRIZE FROM OUR SPONSOR LIST.
