PAYMENT POLICIES

​

Refunds:  SM is a self-sufficient pageant and is produced on the entry and ancillary fees submitted by the delegates.  Fees are spent on hotel venue rooms, judges' expenses, production, supplies, prizes, catering, etc.  Because of this, there are no refunds under any circumstances.
 

Fee Schedule:
The total entry fee is $1300 (not including optional competition fees).

 

Once your application is received, you will receive email notification of your status and availability of your requested state.  your selected title will be held as a courtesy for 7 days. Your first payment of $300 must be made within that time frame to secure your placement.

​

After the application fee, the remaining $1000 is split into two scheduled payments:

• A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 2 weeks of acceptance.

• The final balance of $500.00 is due 30 days after the deposit.

 

All fees must be paid within 60 days of acceptance, and no later than December 31, 2026. Failure to pay in full by the deadline will result in disqualification, and the state title will be released for reservation. Exceptions will only be made in the case of proven extenuating circumstances (e.g., serious illness, death, or natural disaster).

 

Bonus for On-Time Payment:
Delegates who pay in full according to the scheduled timeline will receive a personal feature page on the Sovereign Miss website, showcasing their headshot, bio, and q&a for public viewing.  this page will be created and published within 14 business days of your final payment date, provided all requested content is received

Bonus for payment IN FULL at the time of acceptance:
