RULES
America's Little Miss looks for girls with sparkling personalities. No pageant experience is necessary! LIGHT makeup and a LIGHT "sun-kissed" tan is allowed so that girls are not washed out by stage lights; however, these should be age appropriate and only enhance the child's beauty. Hair extensions are allowed but not to be overdone. Fake teeth (flippers) and anything else that ages the contestant are not necessary. This is not a glitz pageant and everything should be age appropriate. NO MAKEUP under 6 years of age.
The national titles are non contract-binding, but you must return to the pageant next year to crown your successor. You are not allowed to compete in another pageant that would require you to give up your state or national title; however, you may compete in other pageants as long as they allow you to keep your title.
Participation in a state or regional contest requires the contestant's parent or legal guardian reside, attend school or work in the state or region as detailed by the regional contest. Participants must be age 6-12 as of July 1, 2016.
PHASES OF COMPETITION AGES 2-5
