How do I enter this year’s state and national competition?
To enter the competition
for 2008, you need to send the application in with your photo so we can
put a face to the name and the application with the questions answered
with your opinions. There is no such thing as a right or wrong answer but
only those from the heart. It is our way of getting to know you.
The link to the
application can be found through the
Enter Now! or
2008 National Information
.
If you are a new state representative for your
state, your National Entry fee is
only
$295.00.

What is an at large contestant status mean?
At large contestants are ladies that
believe that they can compete on a national level to represent and promote
a platform ( like breast cancer, heart disease, saying no to drugs, etc.
or a platform cause that they feel is dear to their hearts and become
founders to the cause. Our national Mrs. is promoting her platform of
The forgotten solders.
The at large contestant qualifies herself
by answering a questionnaire that is questions that relate to their
opinions on various subjects. The questionnaire is the application that
all contestants sign up with. All answers are confidential and will never
be known by anyone including the judges. When the questionnaires are
received you are given a number and only the corporate office knows the
number given to each contestant.
We do not give out titles, but award them
to those that receive the highest points overall from one given state. The
at large title carries the same amount of clout as a contestant that
receives the state title by a live audience competition. So, everyone will
not know who has had a state competition on one by way of the internet.
Everyone has identical crowns and banners. Everyone starts out even across
the board when it comes to the national competition. All positions are
awarded by the person that has the highest points from the judging of the
questionnaires from judges that are in different areas of the United
States. After a state is filled with a state representative the local city
and county positions are filled the same way as the at large state
positions. Each state representative gets to know these ladies from her
state, which will in time compete for the state title next year.
As a contestant a platform
is what is dear to your heart that you would like to help promote to find
cures, help make life easier for others etc. It can be your way of
educating those about various causes that need attention. Your platform
can be an existing platform or you can begin your own like helping the
soldiers have care packages from home in the war zone sent to them.

Our mission is to help women of today to fulfill their dreams of being of
service to those in need, whether it be educational, volunteering, or just
sitting and listening to those that need someone to listen and to know that they
are heard.
So, through out the years this is what we feel our founders had in mind.
This is our mission for 2008-2009 and all the years to come.
Our Mission is to encourage women of all ages to be positive about their futures
by accomplishing their goals, and strengthening their self esteem, confidence
and with determination to succeed in life by advancing in their own natural
skills for Success.
Each person has their own individual talented gift that they were born with and
we would be honored to have all our local city, county, state and national
queens become a success at helping others. That is what we are all about.
America’s Touch of Class wants to give a new meaning to the word PAGEANTS. We
want the public to know all our queens are ladies that have class, style, and
compassion for everyone that they meet and to make friends for a lifetime in all
the things that they choose to do to make a difference.
A.T.O.C. Queens know that it is not what they have (title, crown, sash) but what
they do with it that makes the difference. Everyone deserves the chance to show
what they can do to help others in their communities. The rewards far more out
number the services each queen gives of themselves.
As a queen for A.T.O.C. we honor each woman that takes the step to have a voice
in our society that fulfills their goals and reaches out to express their
platforms by using their position as a representative as a microphone to help
others no matter how large or small their audience might be. With the position
they decide to represent, it will make a difference to the world.
America's Touch of Class is honored by saying "Yes, I know that lady that
represents A.T.O.C. with her own unique style of class and compassion for her
fellow man". |
The national fees cover the expenses to
stage and produce the productions for a first class pageant. Union wages
to the sound, security, stage hands, the theater, insurances, licenses to
a pageant at the locations. It includes meals during the field trips and
competition hours, plus transportation during rehearsals and competitions.
This will be held on June 22nd thru 26th,
2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Clark County Theater of Performing Arts.
