Contestant


Application Process

Did you feel guided and supported through the process and expectations adequately? To the best of your knowledge, were all contestants treated equally?

I did until the end and no not all contestants were treated equally.

Rating (0-10): 0


Franchise/Directors/Organisers

Professionalism, contracts, fees, treatment of contestants, discrimination, financial responsibilities, prizes, are they motivated correctly, etc.

Fees were high, there bullying me into trying to sign a contract that happened 5 weeks after the pageant otherwise they're threatening to revoke my title especially in public.

Rating (0-10): 0


Rehearsals

Well organised, value, treatment of participants, expectations, respect versus compromise, qualified trainers, etc.

1 hour late first rehearsal. Day of the competition the directors were 4 hours late while we were told to be there at 9am and went until 11pm without any proper food all day.

Rating (0-10): 5


Safety

Health, medical requirements, dietry, personal, sexual, physical, privacy, financial, event security, etc.

No food was served to us on the day of the contest other than miserable snacks between 21 of us.

Rating (0-10): 0


Empowerment

This experience increased/decreased my self confidence, my sense of purpose, my capacity to dream bigger, and my propensity to lead others to their inner greatness.

It was fine in the beginning until they pulled out a contract that I'm refusing to sign and now there harassing me and threatening to revoke my title especially in public if I don't co-operate.  

Rating (0-10): 0


Judging

Qualified, conflicts of interest, fair and unbiased, racial, discrimination, etc

I was happy with my results but there was some problems with the other contestants results.

Rating (0-10): 0


Reigning Year

What did you like/dislike about your reigning year? Were events throughout your regning year honourable or did you feel used?

I felt happy in the beginning but now I feel torn down as they won't leave me alone.

Rating (0-10): 0


Services

Value for money, contribution respected, etc.

Some of us paid and some of them were let in for free being subsidized by other contestants paid fees.

This was the most toxic pageant I had ever been involved with and I want them prosecuted for their fraudulent scams.
