Here’s How it Works!

Your Community Involvement Form, which you will receive as part of your Nationals Pre-Pageant Pack, includes both an area on the front where you document your Community Involvement, as well as a built-in area for including your Golden Achievement required elements.

The required elements for Community Involvement are:

• Complete the Community Involvement form, and
• Attach the letter of validation from the project manager, verifying your service.

THEN, if you want to upgrade your existing Community Involvement project entry so that it will be considered as a Golden Achievement in Service Award entry, all you need to do is:

• Include one or more actual photo(s) of your project.*
• Write an essay about your project.The essay is not to exceed a maximum of 300 words for Pre-Teen, Junior Teen,Teen and Miss contestants.And the word limit for Princess and Junior Pre-Teens is 150 words.
• (Optional): If you want, you can also include additional letters of commendation, digital video (on disc), and/or other attachments which you feel will help us present your project if it is selected and then presented on a website page.

* Keep in mind that the winning entry from each age group will be featured on a website page, so we will need your photo(s) submitted to be original photo prints which we can properly scan. However, if you do want to submit digital photos, then please do print them out as laser or inkjet prints for the entry that you turn in, but also attach a CD or floppy with the photo(s) in digital files; any common file type will be fine, we can read them all.

Please check page 21 in your guidebook to learn more about it.

If you are competing for one of the national queen’s titles, then you’ll already be preparing and submitting a Community Involvement form as a required element of your pageant competition. Even if you are not competing for one of the overall queen’s titles at nationals, you can still participate and have the opportunity to win the new Golden Achievement in Service Award.
