My daughter is strong competitor and has gotten top 5 and top 10 consistently since her participation. I have a problem with how the organization is set up and ran. They allow girls who have won before to compete at the state level. This is unfair to girls who have worked hard consistency and gotten better. If they continue this, the same girls will win over and over. I hope this is not what they want or plan. There is a lack of soul as well. The contestants who have stage presence or a natural ability overall never seem to win. This is an error, or this pageant may be set up for specific girls to win, which is unfair. I hope the pageant will change its practice for future girls to participate.
