Preliminary Pageants Rules
1. Contestants must compete in the age division they are the day of the pageant, unless a contestant has a birthday and changes age divisions prior to the state pageant in June, then she moves up. Contestants must submit a copy of their birth certificate.
2. It is mandatory that Teeny, Tiny, Little, Junior, Teen and Miss Queens must represent Bryan/Chatham County at the Georgia Forestry Pageant in Tifton in June 2010.
3. The Bryan/Chatham County Forestry Pageant is open to girls Baby thru Teen from any county. The Miss Division Queen must be from Bryan/Chatham County, attend College in Bryan/Chatham County. Work in Bryan/Chatham County or be from a county that touches Bryan/Chatham County. Please contact the Director for more details.
4. Must always act in a ladylike manner, dress appropriately for appearances, and always wear crown and banner to any appearances or parades.
5. May be sponsored by Family, Friends or Businesses at the local pageant.
6. The purpose of the Local Forestry Pageant is to offer educational opportunities to young ladies and promote the Forestry Industry for that county. You can hold any title, we don’t care how many titles you hold, and compete in the local Forestry Pageants, but if you should be named queen of a local Forestry Pageant, you cannot promote or make appearances for any previous or current titles, you must promote your county Forestry title only at all events. You can go back when it is time and relinquish your crown for any previous titles that you held prior to competing in this local pageant, but all other appearances must be made as forestry queen. If you should be named queen of a local Forestry pageant, you cannot compete in any pageant that will require you to promote or make appearances for them until you are three months of giving up your local title. Local Forestry Queens will promote and make appearances as Local Forestry Queens only! You can compete in other pageants as long as it is a pageant that does not require an appearance or promotion. You must get permission from your local director before competing in another pageant, if you are named a local Forestry Queen.
7. Local Pageants will be responsible for your BEAUTY entry fee to the State Forestry Pageant. State Forestry dates are Teeny and Tiny, June 11, 2010, Little and Junior, June 12, 2010, Teen and Miss, June 19, 2010. Queens will be responsible for ads, optionals and so forth. 
8. If any Queen does not attend State Competition after their entry fees have been paid by the Director/Bryan/Chatham County Forestry Scholarship Pageant, that Queen/Family of the Queen will be responsible for refunding the Director/Bryan/Chatham County Forestry Scholarship Pageant their FULL entry fees paid to State within 2 weeks after telling the Director that they will not be attending $175.00 (Miss), $150 (Teen), $125 (Teeny through Junior). The Director may also opt to take the 1st Alternate in that Division to State and ask for the Queens' prizes back, depending on the circumstances for the Queen not going to State Competition.
9. Must get permission from the Director before promoting the Forestry in any event or before entering other pageants. Queens cannot wear the Forestry crown and banner to promote other pageants after they give up their title. If caught doing so, The Georgia Forestry Pageant has the right to ask the queen to return her crown and banner for her local pageant.
10. Queens will get scholarship money at the end of their reign provided you have fulfilled your obligations to your local Forestry title. The Director of the Local Pageant that you win is responsible for all scholarships and prizes. If for some reason the Directorship of your local pageant should change prior to the end of your reign, the Director that crowned you will remain responsible for all your prizes and scholarships. Neither the Georgia Forestry Pageant nor the newly elected Director will be responsible for the prizes and scholarships.
11. Miss Queen will be responsible for making contact with the director, not other family members. We feel that this is part of your responsibility while wearing the crown. 
12. Contestants must have never been married, ever pregnant or ever had a baby. Queens cannot marry, become pregnant, or be convicted of a crime during/before their reign.
13. Queens agree to abide by all the rules and regulations set forth by the Forestry Pageant Board now in affect or announced thereafter.
14. The pageant will be conducted under the rules set forth by the Forestry Pageant Board and a contestant agrees that the time, manner and method of judging the pageant shall be solely within the discretion of the Pageant Board and the judges’ decision are final.
15. No refunds unless the pageant should be canceled. Entry fees must accompany the application.
16. The number of applications accepted in each age division will be limited and accepted on a first come first serve basis.

24. No food or Drinks in the Auditorium.
25. Should there be a problem of any kind during the pageant or related events the contestant is to go to one of the directors. Any unruly, unsportsmanlike or any unbecoming conduct by a contestant or any member of her entourage or any disregard for the rules and regulations of this pageant could result in immediate dismissal from further competition without refund. Depending upon the severity of the action or behavior, it could result in a permanent barrier from future competition of the Miss Georgia Forestry Pageant. If you should lose your forestry title, you will not be allowed to ever compete in a Local or State Forestry Pageant again! If a queen loses her title, she will have to return all prizes including but not limited to crown, banner, trophy, gifts and scholarships or the cash value of those items.
26. Baby, Teeny, Tiny, Little and Junior will be scored a 1 to 10 on personality, beauty, poise, gown and overall appearance.
27. Teen and Miss will be scored 50 pts on a five minute interview, 25 pts on a one minute speech, 25 pts on evening gown and 15 pts on an onstage question.. Interview will be five minutes and speech must be one minute in length.
28. State Queens cannot compete in any Local Pageant until they change age divisions. Miss Queens can compete in a local pageant where they attend college work, or attend school, or if there is no county pageant, they can be the first to enter to come to state or the first to represent their college. It is up to each local director whether they choose to allow a local queen to compete again in the same age group as long as they don't compete the same year they relinquish their title and as long as they have not won state in the same age division.
29. If a Local Queen wins State Forestry, she shall be able to keep her local title and any prizes form the local pageant that would be coming to her and she shall represent the state only!
30. No soliciting of any kind is allowed at any Local Forestry Pageant. Leave all solicitations at home. We are non-profit and cannot promote any business! This means no passing out of applications, materials and so forth. 
31. Applications may be mailed to Lydia Luke, 106 Blair Way Guyton, GA 31312 If we can assist you in any way, please call Lydia Luke (912)728-4324 or (912)429-9555
