Printed pageant programs are essential to show the contestants photos, biographies, scholarships, awards and prizes. Programs can become souvenirs filled with memories that the contestants and families can treasure for years to come.

Family, friends and attendees will use the programs to learn more about the pageant and contestants. An introduction, printed schedule, message from the director, and judges biography are important. The reigning queen, past royalty and appearances of the previous winner should also be included.

Gwen Nanna used the left page to showcase the winners from the previous year and give a short biography about them. This helps generate excitement for the contestants that are participating in this year’s competition. She also used the same magenta color throughout the program to give everything a unified look. Click here to read the full case study.

Donnela’s advice for a printing project is “keep it simple!” She hosts many pageants throughout the year and using a similar format means that she doesn’t have to start the design from scratch every year. This means she has more time to focus on the pageant! Click here to read the full case study.

Other Things to Include:

• Pageant Staff
• Scholarship Rules
• Upcoming events or workshops
• Advertising pages
• Ads that sponsor contestants
• Special thanks page
• Farewell
• Autograph page

Selling ad space in your program is a great way to generate additional funds for the pageant. The ad pricing can vary depending on the size of the event and other factors. Choose pricing that works best for your project.
