Evening Wear
The evening gown competition is designed to feature the young woman wearing the dress, rather than the dress itself. Judges will take into consideration the Contestant's composure, poise and stage presence during this phase of competition. The focus will be on the appropriateness of the gown and, most importantly, on the Contestant's personality and confidence.

The Fitness & Wellness phase of competition is designed to demonstrate the Contestant's healthy lifestyle. Judges will take into consideration the Contestant's confidence on stage, display of charisma and dedication to mind-body balance. The focus of the competition is not on a Contestant's size or shape but, rather, the ability of a Contestant to challenge herself to achieve higher levels of health, energy, wellness and purpose to integrate all aspects of body, mind and spirit.
