Our mission:
The Miss Sebastian Sweetheart Pageant is dedicated to bringing communities together and encouraging their future leaders. Each year, the pageant awards cash, scholarships and prizes to recognize and assist the development of young, talented women within our neighboring communities.

Explore your potential:
The Miss Sebastian Sweetheart title opens doors during the year of  the queen's reign. As the pageant winner, the queen will represent the title for the coming year and will return to next year’s pageant, to crown her successor.

Smart Talent Pageant Staff will be working all year long with the winners, scheduling appearances with local civic groups, organizations, and businesses. They may take a day to visit local mayors and council members, make an appearance with local sports teams, and participate in parades and community events in both neighboring counties…These are just some of the opportunities the queen will have while she is Miss Sebastian Sweetheart!

First Place Winner Will Receive:
A cash prize of $1,000, crown, ribbon, and roses along with various prizes donated by area businesses and a Scholarship at Melann Kahle’s Smart Talent Academy of Performing Arts redeemable during the Queen’s reign.

Runners-Up:
The three runners-up to the Queen's title will each receive a rose, placement ribbon, and various prizes donated by area businesses and scholarships at Smart Talent during their year of reign: First Runner Up: 18 weeks of class instruction; Second Runner Up: 12 weeks of class instruction; Third Runner Up: 6 weeks of class instruction.

Everybody Wins:
This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Besides the possibilities of winning prizes, cash, Smart Talent Scholarships, and community recognition, are the self-confidence and experience the contestants gain from the Smart Talent Pageant Workshop and from interviewing and appearing on stage at this glamorous event. Every contestant will be recognized on stage with the official pageant ribbon during the event to honor your participation.

Scoring:
Contestants are scored 20% on your Personal Introduction, 40% on Formal Wear Poise and Appearance, 40% on Communications Skills in a Question/Answer Competition. Independent judges who are leaders in our community will be scoring the event.


The Categories for Judging are as follows:

Personal Introduction
The judges will be looking for a sparkling, winning attitude, clear speech, and warm, glowing personality to embody the title of Miss Sebastian Sweetheart!

Formal Wear Poise and Appearance:
The formal wear category will showcase the contestants' poise and appearance in an individual and group segment.   Modesty is imperative for all age groups. It should be noted that this pageant, while a glamorous event, does not focus exclusively on physical appearance. Good communication and presentation skills are recognized and encouraged. Braces, glasses, skin problems, varying heights, etc., are irrelevant and are a normal part of growing up. The judges are instructed to score in this manner.

The Question/Interview:
The questions shall consist solely of topics such as family, education, hobbies, community involvement, etc. In addition, contestants may be asked pageant related questions such as: What do you hope to gain from your participation in this pageant? Communication skills will be assessed in this category. Assessment will take into consideration the participant’s age category and corresponding language development.

Guest Tickets:
Ticket sales are a fundraiser for the Brain Injury Association of Florida.
We raised $910.  Thank you for your support of this wonderful organization!
