Congratulations for being a preliminary winner and this is your invitation to our 2008 “Down By The Sea” All Star Kids National Pageant. I will be sending additional information and a hotel brochure with a map later. Please note deadlines for forms, photographs and ads will be June 1st. Please send in ads as you sell them.

PHOTO ROSTER: Every contestant’s photo must appear in our souvenir Program Book. Each contestant is to submit a black and white preferably (as color loses it quality in printing) wallet size head and shoulder shot. On the back of the photo, please indicate the contestants name, hometown and age group you are competing. A reduction/enlargement fee will be required if the photo is not wallet size. A color transfer fee will be required if a color photo is submitted. The photo must accompany your forms under the same deadline as the entry form June 1st.

PHOTOGENIC: The photogenic division is an important and meaningful part of the competition. It was designed to give recognition to those with special photogenic qualities and creativity. One Photogenic Winner will be selected in each of the 5 age divisions – Beauty and Beau. In the photogenic category, participants will furnish their own 3 ½ X 5 black and white photograph for printing in the photogenic section of the program book. Judging will be done from the actual photograph, so you may want to send an additional 8 X 10 black and white or color for the actual judging. If you ONLY submit an 8 X 10 photo, you will be required to pay a reduction and/or color transfer fee. (OPTIONAL: If you elect to have a Full Page Photogenic printed in the photogenic section, you may submit an 8 X 10 Black and White Photograph for printing the Program Book and an 8 X 10 color for the actual judging. If you only submit an 8 X 10 color photo for the Full Page Photogenic, you must pay the transfer fee). On the back of each photo, please label with contestants name, hometown and age division you are competing in. The photo must accompany your forms under the same deadline June 1st as the entry form. Photographs will be judged by qualified print and media agencies.

The Group Interview will be done in your official “Down By The Sea” All Star T-Shirt (Color: Teal), which you will wear with your choice of white shorts, skirt, or jeans. Nothing may be added to the T-Shirt itself, but accessories may be added at your discretion. Casual Wear may be school wear, everyday wear, action wear, fun wear, etc. This may be as casual or dressy as you wish. During the Group Interview, the judges will be selecting a Prettiest and a Best Interview Winner (one per age division). One Beauty Winner will be selected from each of the age divisions plus alternates.

SPONSORS: You may obtain sponsors to cover the expense of the cost of the pageant fees. Sponsors may be any type of business, relatives, friends, etc. This gives the sponsors advertising while supporting their favorite contestant and this is also a tax deduction to them. We suggest that you dress yourself and your child appropriately and make an appropriate call on those businesses that you feel would support this program such as banks, car dealers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, insurance companies, real estate businesses, etc. We are enclosing a sample of advertisement that you might show to prospective sponsors showing how they will be listed in the program book on your child’s photogenic picture or samples of sizes of ads and costs. The total amount of advertising sold will be applied to your entry fees. We are also enclosing an Endorsement Form for friends, family, etc. to sign and these names will be printed in the community support section. If you would like a Program Book to show potential sponsors what their ads will be printed in, please call our office.

"DOWN BY THE SEA” BANQUET: This will be a set down meal where you can dress as elegant as you wish. Our current reigning Beauty, Beau, Talent and Overall Winners will be recognized. This is a chance for the entire family to have a great time together, including getting all dressed up if you desire.

"DOWN BY THE SEA” PARTY: The details of this party will be announced when finalized. But you will enjoy it.

"DOWN BY THE SEA” DISCO DANCE: Put your dancing shoes (boots) on and do the latest disco or two-step to the hits selected by our Star DJ. This will be a good way to dance with all those friends you have met during the competition. Chaperones, dust off your dancin’ shoes too.

MOM OF THE YEAR: We want all you Moms to take part in this competition. In 200 words or less, tell us "What I Tell My Child If They Do Not Win” and of course everyone can to do this. The winner will receive an award and monogrammed “All Star Mom of the Year” banner. Remember deadline is June 1st.

TICKETS: All persons – excluding contestants and chaperones – attending the competition will be required to purchase tickets for every competition. Ticket Passes are available for relatives and guests of the participants and may be pre-ordered on the entry form. These ticket passes will allow “Come and Go” admittance to all competition. You may also purchase extra party, dance and banquet tickets.

HOTEL RESERVATIONS: All contestants and chaperones are encouraged to be registered at the Hotel (unless other arrangements with our office have been made). We feel that the pageant is much more enjoyable with the convenience to go upstairs to your room when you are not competing and the comfort of dressing in your own room. Also, the traffic and summer heat is unavoidable. Please make sure you note on the tentative schedule the times you are required to be in the staging area. Room reservations will be made in your child’s name and check-in is 3:00 p.m. Thursday and check-out time is Noon on Sunday. You may wish to make additional reservations for other family members or guests and these reservations must be made through our office, in order for you to receive the special rate that the Hotel has given All Star Kids. You may make last minute reservations for family and friends up until the week of the pageant, providing rooms are available. Please send in your Deposit Form today to guarantee your room reservations.
