Contest Format/ Rules
ROUND 1
Posing and Bios.
Each contestant will come on stage and do three poses while the MC reads your bio (put together from the registration questions – it gives the audience and judges a little feel for your personality).
ROUND 2
Question and Answer.
The top 13 contestants from Round 1 will go into Round 2 where they will be asked a question related to pinup/40s-60s (the list of possible questions will be given to you a month in advance).
ROUND 3
The Final Round.
Round 3 will consist of the top 5 contestants. All will be asked the same question. The top 3 will then be crowned and have their photo taken.
Contestants who make it to the 3rd round are welcome to change their outfit but it's not mandatory.
