It is necessary to be very careful when selecting judges for a Beauty Pageant. Because pageants are different, it is very important to select a group of judges that will choose what you are looking for in a winner. Here's how to select the best judges for your next Beauty Pageant.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    As a pageant director, never serve as a judge yourself. You want your election of the winner to be unbiased. By not serving as judge yourself, you will avoid the possibility of any questionable comments regarding your pageant.

  2. Step 2

    Don’t ask a director from another state within your pageant system to serve as judge. Some state directors will try to intimidate the stronger contestants so they won’t do well enough to win.

  3. Step 3

    Choose people with a diverse background. Your judges should be geographically distributed, and have different professions and ages.

  4. Step 4

    Look for judges with a good reputation. You want your judges to live by the morals they expect from the contestants.

  5. Step 5

    Choose people who have an idea of what they are doing. They should have an experience in appraising the ideals of your pageant.

  6. Step 6

    Do explain the judging criteria and your pageant goal to your judges. If your winner advances to another level, explain that too.

  7. Step 7

    Appoint a judges’ committee chairman. This person will guide other judges, deliver scores to your tabulator, and resolve any judging disputes or emergencies.

  8. Step 8

    Choose an odd number of judges in order to avoid a tie.

  9. Step 9

    Make sure your judges don’t have any personal ties with the contestants. You can outright ask the judges for this information and have them sign an agreement that states this.
