A. Van Dyke Productions is pleased to announce The Little Miss Emerging Royalty Pageant.​

 

This pageant is semi-glitz - which means we are a happy medium between natural and glitz. We will also have an opening parade of contestants, which will consist of the contestants in the pageant provided t-shirt and denim or white bottoms of your choice. 

If we fill all available spots, the pageant will also provide the bottoms needed to wear during opening parade.

 

Opening Parade: All contestants should wear a white or denim bottom with the provided pageant T-shirt. Contestants are welcome to dress up their t-shirt as they wish. HOWEVER, DO NOT CUT, BLEACH, ALTER, OR CUSTOMIZE THE PROVIDED T-SHIRT IN ANY FORM OR FASHION. It is okay to tie up the sleeves with a ribbon or bows, but do not make any changes which will require glue, tape, glitter, stones, or adhesive directly applied to the

t-shirt. T-shirts will be issued at check-in the day of the pageant. A photo of the t-shirt will be shared 1 to 2 weeks after applications have closed. Opening parade is not scored, but it is when we announce all the contestants to the audience.

 

Beauty (Gown): All contestants should wear a pageant dress of their choice. Dresses may be short or long. Contestants may wear age-appropriate make-up (for stage) and hair. The walk pattern, will be provided shortly after applications close on November 1, 2026. Rehearsals will be scheduled for contestants that are local to Albany, GA.

 

Christmas Themed Outfit of Choice: All contestants should choose a Christmas themed outfit that creatively showcases her personality and inner fashionista. Be creative! BUT! Remember age-appropriateness.  

 

Viewer’s Choice: All contestants will have the opportunity to participate in viewer’s choice. Using their official headshot photos, supporters will be able to vote for them online. The winner of the viewer’s choice award will receive a custom prize package (TBD). Viewer’s choice is separate from the photogenic competition.
