Ms. World International 2019

The search is on for Ms. World, Ms. World Elite and Ms. World International
Congratulations! You have taken the first step in becoming an official candidate in the Ms. World Pageant. We have an incredible event planned for you. Plenty of fun, making new and lasting friendships and an incredible awards package for our titleholders. If you are crowned as one of our Ms. World titleholders, the most thrilling and exciting awards are yours to enjoy: Gorgeous banner and crown, appearance trips, professional photo session, plus many more exciting prizes and opportunities.
At Ms. World we believe that you should be treated as the valued customer that you are. You are not only entering a pageant but purchasing an experience. Our goal is to give you an experience that you will enjoy and treasure. We guarantee that you will always be treated fairly and respectfully. All of our contestants are charged the same fees. Some contestants may win discounts off of their fees at preliminary pageants but no contestant will ever be given an opportunity to pay more than the entry fee in order to secure a title.
This is truly and exciting and wonderful opportunity, but some work must be done before you walk out on stage and meet the spotlights. Each contestant must apply on line at www.msworldpageant.org. The first step is to go to the entry link and pay your Registration Fee. This will take you to step two, the link to fill out the registration form and upload a picture.
Each Official Candidate will be judged in 3 areas: Evening Gown, Interview and Fitness Wear. These areas of competition are equally weighed and designed to help showcase your ability to serve as a role model. You will have the opportunity to demonstrate your stage presence, poise, personality and communication skills during the onstage question in evening gown.
Our program is an outstanding vehicle for women to be recognized as the elite women of today and tomorrow.
Welcome to the Ms. World Family and congratulations!

Each contestant may have one hair and makeup person back stage. This person does not need to pay a fee to assist you back stage. You will have a dressing room to change in but we ask that you arrive with your initial hair and makeup ready. They may be male or female. It is not unusual in international pageants and modeling to have both male and female staff in the dressing rooms. We will provide a female only area for changing clothing for anyone who prefers to change in complete privacy. We expect everyone to be respectful of one another and to understand that cultures are different in different part of the world. Some people are comfortable changing in a coed environment while others are not. We will do our best to accommodate everyone.
A list of hair and makeup vendors will be available 30 days prior to the pageant. We do not endorse or recommend any particular vendor.
