Etiquette for a Beauty Queen

Are you ready, queens? This being our first Miss Uganda North America makes it very Exciting! But first things first – what makes a beauty queen a real queen?

Attitude

• Shoulders back, head high – stand tall and proud at all times.
• Firm handshakes.
• Smile – you’re infectious.

Pay It Forward

• Show politeness and kindness.
• Be caring and helpful.
• Please and Thank You go a long way.
• Treat other contestants with respect.

Stun

• Create warmth everywhere you go by being positive and wearing a smile.
• Be yourself and be confident in it. Your talents, your past experiences and your dreams should be the source of your unique personality.
• The dress should always be on-point. Dare to stand out – but in a good way.
• Grooming: hair done, nails done, skin cleansed and moisturised. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune: do-it-yourself is just fine.

Speak!

• Speak up and punctuate your statements.
• Practice your speaking – until you’re able to respond to questions without going off-topic, eloquently and with authenticity.
• Maintain eye-contact with your interviewer – even when it’s a crowd.
