? What Are We Looking For?

Submitted photos can be a headshot, ¾ length, or full-length—but must clearly show the contestant's face. Themed attire is not required unless specified. Photos will be judged on:

Overall Appeal
Photo Clarity
Personality
Styling
Overall Impression

? Note: East Coast USA is a natural pageant system. Photos should reflect what the contestant looks like in person—no heavy retouching or glitz-style edits. Light retouching, color correction, and basic editing are acceptable.

Deadline day of December 29th. On December 29th you will receive a contestant number sent to your email that you used to register with a dropbox link to upload your photos then.
