Utah Cinderella Pageant

The Cinderella Scholarship Program is the largest youth development program of it's kind. Young girls learn how to interview, present themselves onstage, perform in front of an audience, dress for different social events and have good sportsmanship. It helps give the girls poise and confidence to accomplish greater things in their lives.

In Cinderella we are searching for a natural, unaffected young lady to represent our program. She should be charming and personable; well groomed and poised; self-confident; and above all have the character, humility and inner beauty that sets her apart as a leader. A Cinderella winner is at ease in a crowd and is respectful of those around her. Her manners, dress and behavior are age appropriate. It is important to note that th...e concept of "beauty" in Cinderella is defined as a person's "inner beauty" and strength of character combined with her personal achievements in at least one area of the performing arts as well as her ability to communicate effectively with others. Cinderella does not place emphasis on physical beauty, but rather seeks to promote the beautiful inner person that should reside in everyone.

The preliminary pageant is the first step in the tri-level organization that makes up the International Cinderella Scholarship Program. We are a natural, youth development pageant system that focuses on the growth of the participant and displaying good sportsmanship. A Cinderella Girl develops many life skills/lessons through interview, on stage presentation/modeling and the performing arts. We also encourage healthy competition, having fun and making friends along the way!

Preliminary season begins in September and runs through April. For the 2018 pageant season, we have 7 Cinderella preliminaries and our State Charm Girl pageant planned. Registration begins 6 weeks prior to pageant date and entry fees vary from $50-80 depending on pageant location/area. All Cinderella preliminaries will offer the Baby divisions (ages 0-2) and main pageant divisions (ages 3-29). Age division eligibility is determined by the participant age on Sept 1 of the current pageant season. For our Charm Girl pageant, ages 3 and up, the participant will compete in the age division she falls in on the day of the pageant.

We have pageants spanning across the state from Logan to St George. All pageant locations are currently considered "open pageants" unless otherwise noted. This means you do not need to live in/around that specific area to participate as a contestant.

If you are in an area without a preliminary pageant and are interested in becoming a director, please contact our State Director, Sharon, at [email protected] for more information.
