Local Forestry Pageant Rules

(6) The Georgia Forestry Pageant and Educational Association By-laws state, the purpose of the Georgia Forestry Pageant is to offer educational opportunities to young ladies and promote Georgia Forestry. 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 will promote Forestry only. 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 a 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! If you are a reigning Local Forestry Queen and did not win State Forestry, you cannot compete in another local Forestry Pageant until you are within three months of giving up your local Forestry title. You can compete in other pageants as long as it is a pageant that does not require 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 Pageant will be responsible for your entry fee to the State Forestry Pageant.  Queens will be responsible for ads, optional, and so forth.
(8) Must always act in a ladylike manner, dress appropriately for appearances, and always wear crown and banner. Always get dress attire approved by Local Director.
(9) Must get permission from Local 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 to her local pageant.
(10) Will get scholarship money at the end of your 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 your 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 Local Director, not other family members. We feel that is a part of your responsibility while wearing the crown.

These state packets are to be turned into the local Director no later than 3 weeks after the date you win your local pageant or April 1 whichever comes first.

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 or any local Forestry Pageant. If you should lose your Local or State 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.

State Queens cannot compete in any Local Pageant until they change age divisions. Miss Queens can compete in a local county pageant where they attend college, 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.
(29) If a local Queen wins State Forestry, she shall be able to keep her local title and any prizes from the local pageant that would be coming to her and she shall represent State Only!
