....Las Vegas.... Showgirl Presentation (100 points/Judge)....

Attire can be anything you would see in a ....Las Vegas.... show. There is no limit to what you can do with this category such as style, fit, color, ect. This is your chance to do whatever you like and let both judges and the crowd know how creative you can be. Remember, presentation is always a chance for you to show off your personality and stage presents to the judges and the crowd. Its always the bigger the better in Vegas! It is divided into two sub-categories:

Presentation – how well you model on the stage (50 points/judge)

Creativity/Overall Impression (50 points/judge)

The interview must be in male attire. This is a business attire type of category. No female attire and/or accessories are to be in this category. If a contestant does bring female attire and/or accessories to male interview all judges will mark the “overall appearance” sub-category an automatic zero (0). This is the time for the judges to meet the contestant on a personal level and learn of his goals and objectives. It is divided into three sub-categories:....

Overall Appearance (50 points/judge)....

Personality (50 points/judge)....

Communication and Answer Content (50 points/judge).....

This category is a “clothing and modeling” category. The outfit can be of any style suitable for the contestant and must be comprised of the colors red, white or blue or any combination of the three (red & white, white only, etc). Any color may be used as an accent color but accent colors cannot exceed 10% of the total outfit. We are looking for an edgy and creative fashion that could be seen on the runways of the top fashion shows. Think “Project Runway” or “....America....’s Next Top Model” when creating your Runway Fashion. No commentaries are required from the contestant. This is solely a runway modeling category divided into two sub-categories:....

· Presentation – how well you model on the stage (50 points/judge)....

· Creativity/Overall Impression (50 points/judge).....

ANY TYPE of full-length evening gown is acceptable. Judges score on three sub-categories:....

· Styling and Fit – focus is on gown design and condition and whether it compliments the Contestant (50 points/judge)....

· Presentation – focus is on the Contestant’s modeling technique, poise, smile, personality, stage presence, etc (50 points/judge)....

· Overall Appearance – focus is on accessories, make-up, hair style, etc. This sub-category will represent the most elegant portion of the contest (50 points/judge).....

Remember your time limits of 7 minutes for the talent presentation and 3 minutes for set-up/take down of props. No fire, no water, no glitter and no harmful items that may result in injury to other contestants or the audience may be used. If you have a questionable prop – ASK! This category is divided into four sub-categories:....

· Costuming and Set Design (50 points/judge)....

· Choreography and Stage Presence (dancers included) – (75 points/judge)....

· Quality (Lip Sync, Live Vocal, Dancing Ability, etc) – (100 points/judge).....

· Entertainment Value as determined by the Individual Judge (usually, but not always seen in the audience response) – (75 points/judge)....
