Contestant and Parent Code of Conduct

As a winner of a “Tiny Miss” Greater Franklin County title, I agree not to compete in any other “Tiny Miss” or similar type pageants during my year of service without the approval of my pageant committee. Failure to do so may result in the forfeiture of my title.

Unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated. The committee reserves the right to disqualify a contestant if behavior by the contestant, parent, or guest is deemed inappropriate. If any such unsportsmanlike displays are reported by observers and these reports are supported by witnesses, then the parent and their child may be banned from competing in or attending future “Tiny Miss” pageants for a period of one year. This rule has been approved by Gail Jones, director of the Tiny Miss Virginia Pageant, and any decision made by the pageant committee will also be discussed with and enforced by the State Director.

I release the pageant director, pageant staff and the Franklin County School System from any responsibility due to the loss of personal property, illness, or accident.
