Information About the Judging System

It is our desire to acquire judges who are
1) Qualified: experienced in pageant judging
2) Impartial: preferably from outside the Trussville area, and without relationship to any of the contestants
3) Diverse: that is, having age, gender, and racial diversity, as well as not having the same judges year after year

Criteria
The judges will evaluate each contestant and award points immediately after seeing each contestant. The contestant is actually competing against herself to receive points. The judges look for such things as overall "first impression", physical beauty, confidence and stage presence, gracefulness of walk, carriage and posture, poise and personality.

Onstage Walk:
There will be designated walking pattern and stopping points onstage. Each girl should follow this generally, but will not be penalized for small deviations.

Turns:
The onstage walk should include one 360 degree turn at the front of the stage. It may be a pivot turn or a circle turn. No girl will be disqualified for making additional turns.

Bonus Events:
Awards for Most Photogenic, Prettiest Hair, Prettiest Smile, Prettiest Eyes, and Best Dressed are separate events. These do not add points to the general scoring for Miss Hewitt Husky.

It is our desire in every area to have an honest, impartial, and confidential scoring system. Please respect the decisions of the judges, and realize that, while all the girls may look beautiful, it is the judges' difficult task to select top scorers.
