COMPETITION

The Miss Tennessee Valley Preliminary Pageant overview. The Miss Tennessee Valley Preliminary is divided into four phases of competition, including interview, casual wear, swimsuit, talent, evening wear, and onstage question. Each contestant is scored individually from one to ten in each category with the high and low score disregarded. The contestant receiving the highest number of points is crowned Miss Tennessee Valley.

 Interview
The interview competition is your first opportunity to meet the five judges who will choose the new Miss Tennessee Valley. The private interview will last 10 minutes with a straight interview section lasting 9 minutes and 30 seconds followed by a 30 second closing.  The attire for interview should be of business dress (i.e. business dress suit or pant suit). Judges during private interview can ask you a question on a span of subjects such as current events, your platform, and your fact sheet.
Interview is 25% of a contestant's total score.

 Swimsuit
The swimsuit competition represents how you maintain good personal fitness. The judges will be looking for overall proportion of figure, walk, poise, and grace. Your swimsuit may be one piece or two-piece but must be one color or one main color with different piping, and must be in good taste. Shoes may or may not be worn during this competition - the decision is yours. You will be on stage for a maximum of 20 seconds during the swimsuit competition.
Swimsuit is 15% of a contestant's total score.

 Talent
You will present a talent presentation of
not more than 2 minutes Music will only be accepted in the form of a CD. Cassettes will not be accepted and no on stage accompaniment will be allowed. Past talents have included singing, dancing, playing a musical instrument, reciting a comedy or dramatic reading, baton, acrobatic movements, etc. Contestants are responsible for their own music arrangement, etc., for the talent presentation in the form of a CD. Judges will look for interpretive ability, technical skill level, stage presence, and the integration of elements (costume, choreography, music and props) used in the presentation. Talent is 35% of a contestant’s total score.

 Evening Wear
The eveningwear is an on-stage statement of the contestant's personality. During this competition, judges will look for personality, sense of confidence, stage presence, walk, and posture.
