(Contestant must supply all needed materials including music, phone or flash drive) People’s Choice Award: Each contestant will have a personalized jar. The jar with the most money in it at the end of the contest will receive the title of the People’s Choice. Every dollar equals one vote.

To Qualify to win the overall titles of Little Miss McIntosh (ages 0 – 7) or Miss McIntosh (ages 8 -18) contestants have to enter Beauty, Photogenic and Outfit of Choice.

The overall titles are based on overall highest score. The more categories a contestant enters, the more points they can attain. There will also be other crowning titles within each of the categories.
