Pageant Entry

Welcome to the 2018 National Miss You Can Do It Pageant

ongratulations! You are one of a select group of girls and young women who will compete in our national contest! It will be the experience of a lifetime!

The Miss You Can Do It Pageant, a national nonprofit pageant for girls and women with special needs and challenges, is a magical event that happens once a year. We have come quite a long way since our first pageant in 2004, and those who witnessed the beginning could not have anticipated the incredible growth Miss You Can Do It has achieved.

This competition puts its contestants on a memorable path; this experience leaves you with great memories, strong friendships, and a defining sense of accomplishment. This surreal night is a once in a lifetime experience!

I ask you as contestants to put your fears aside. To allow yourself to try something outside of the ordinary. I ask you to be brave. Life is about pushing yourself. I am so proud of you for being part of this pageant and by doing so I believe you are one step closer to your dream come true!

Please read the following information carefully and save and print this packet. You will be added to a private Miss You Can Do It Facebook group where all documents will be uploaded if you need another copy.

Sincerely yours,

Founder

On pageant day contestants wear three different outfits as follows:

• Casual Wear: You can wear anything from a cheerleading outfit to a Disney princess costume to a sequin jacket and dress with a matching hat – in other words, whatever a contestant wants! Please note, though, that our Miss Group, contestants 16 and older, must wear silver, black, or white or any combination of these colors.
• Evening Gown: Typically a formal dress or a gown is worn for this portion of competition.

Health Information:

A registered nurse is on call throughout the pageant weekend. With 75 contestants and their families, though, it is difficult for our nurse to know everything about each contestant.

We ask you to fill out this form and include any information you want our nurse to know about your contestant. This should include dietary restrictions, seizure disorders, any recent injuries, and the like. If you have nothing you need to share, you can leave the form blank, but include it, with the contestants name and your signature, as part of your contestant return package.
