What's new for Northern Belle Pageants in 2002? Our national date is set for August 16, 17 & 18, 2002 and we will now offer 2 Grand Supremes, 6 mini Supremes 0-7, 8 - 12 & 13 Plus, and Beauty Winners. We will continue to use an amateur and pro division in our system, however, the amateur definition has been changed. In the past, a beauty title determined pro status: we have changed the critiera to any divisional, mini or grand supreme or highpoint title. This does not include individual overall model, talent and photogenics wins. The period of 2 years remains the same and that is from August to August. *Contestants will be given the option of competiting in Beauty/Formal only. We will continue to offer photogenics as an optional overall. Our competition categories will remain the same. A complimentary video by Memories in Motions will be given to each contestant. Unfortunately, due to the lack of repsponse to our Toys for Tots drive - we will now require minimal door charges (proceeds to benefit Toys for Tots) - Contestants will receive (2) two parent/guardian passes as part of their registration packet. Others not briging a Toy for Tots are required to pay an admission.

*We look forward to receiving your comments!

Sincerely, Bruce D. Hemond & Tina R. Hemond Directors
