Judging will be based on float/vehicle decoration, personality, speaking ability (if applicable) charm and will be assessed during the line up of the parade.
Contestants in the Petite Miss division and older will be asked to give a small speech about themselves to the judge coming around. Something as simple as “hi, my name is ___ and I like to…want to grow up and be…plan to go to college to…ETC." Judges will be asking general questions.

Each of the subcategories will be a $10 entry per subcategory.
The judging for the Most Popular subcategories will be based off the Friends/Families/Attendees of the old rip festival. There will be a vendor booth during the rip festival that each entry will be on display and each vote casted will be $1.
One winner from each subdivision will be chosen based off the number of $1 they receive and these votes will be due by 1PM so that winners can be announced by 2PM.
Miss Majestic will be a year round position. We will ask that the winner of Miss Majestic be more than just a trophy won at her local parade. Our hope is she will attend events throughout the community hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. If the Mr. Majestic winner is between the (14-19 years) division he will also be held to these standards.
A portion of the Most Popular vote will go to a local non-profit organization of Miss Majestic winner's choice (a list of non-profits will be provided to the winner)

Each winner will receive a tiara, sash and trophy. Boys will receive a crown, scepter and trophy
