Has Elemental™ Pageants done away with the swimsuit competition?
No! We have decided to make activewear (sportswear) a mandatory area of competition for all delegates, and the swimwear competition will be available as an optional competition. This way, delegates who would like the opportunity to showcase in swimwear still have the option to do so and an opportunity to be recognized. As an optional competition, it will have no bearing on the overall competition results.
I wanted to compete this year, but the country I live in is already taken. Do I have to wait until next year?
No! There are quite a few countries that are open for at-large entry, meaning you do not have to physically live in the country to represent it and compete at internationals! At-large titles awarded hold the same weight and prestige as titles awarded at a national pageant!

Are application or entry fees refundable?
All fees and payments are final, non-refundable, and non-transferable. No exceptions.
Do I have to pay my entry fee in full up front?
No! Your entry fee can be paid right away so that you don't have to worry about it anymore, or you can break your entry fee up into payments. More information is provided in your title offer if you receive one.
If I enter a national pageant and win, do I still have to pay an entry fee?
No! Entering and winning a live national pageant event automatically enters you into the international competition. You will only be responsible for the wardrobe fee portion of the entry fee. Fees for the 2025 pageant will be provided to confirmed delegates at a later date.
My country doesn't have a national pageant. Can I still compete at the international competition?
Yes! If you live in or would like to represent a country that does not have a national pageant, you can be interviewed and considered for an appointed title!
I entered a national pageant and did not win, but I would still like to compete at internationals. Is that possible?
Yes! You can contact the international office or Delegate Coordinator if you would like to represent an available country that does not have a national pageant. You can be interviewed and considered for an appointed title! You would pay your entry fees directly to the international office to enter if offered a title.
If I accept an appointed state title, does that mean I am on my own?
No! Being offered an appointed title has the same prestige as a title that was awarded in a competition. Even though you don't have a national director to report to, you will have a Delegate Coordinator who will be your point of contact! They will be available to help guide you through your prep for internationals.
Are titles binding? If so, for how long?
Yes! National titles and the international Elemental™ titles are binding for one (1) year or until you crown your successor--whichever comes first.
