A FAIRY TALE In the Heart of America

                             A Jade Sinclair Production!!

 

Presentation of the contestants should reflect the theme "A FAIRY TALE In the Heart of America".  Contestants are required to choose a leading female character from any storybook, fairy tale, or fable (excluding the Wizard of Oz) and recreate the illusion of this character on stage.  Contestants will be judged on authenticity and general appearance.

 

(Download the application on this page to get an example of characters to consider.)

                            

During presentation contestants will be asked to introduce themselves, indicate their characters name, and explain the reason for their selection.  Have fun with your costume, but remember that this is the first time the judges will see you on stage.  

 

A $50 Cash Prize will be awarded to a contestant for best use of theme. The Presentation Winner will be chosen by Cocktail Entertainment, reigning MGHOA, and reigning Miss Gay America.
