There are 2 ways to enter the 2020 National Pageant: win your title at a state event or advance to nationals with an appointed title. State Pageant Fees are determined by the State Director and can vary. Titleholders who win their title at a State Pageant will receive their National Registration fee paid for by their state organization.
