• Develop leadership and communication
• Build sisterhood
• Encourage service
• Advocate for college access, belonging, retention, and completion

The Competition is not intended to judge contestants solely or primarily on physical appearance, makeup, body type, hairstyle, skin tone, clothing, financial resources, photography equipment, or conformity to one standard of beauty.

• Verify eligibility
• Request additional information
• Request corrections
• Conduct interviews
• Place applicants on a waitlist
• Accept or decline applicants

Contestants are expected to respect:

• Prayer
• Scripture
• Christian teaching
• Faith-based discussions
• Christian standards of service, integrity, dignity, and conduct
• The right of other contestants to express their faith respectfully

Contestants are not expected to be perfect. However, they must participate respectfully and may not ridicule, disrupt, demean, or deliberately undermine the Christian foundation of the Competition.

Misrepresentation of personal faith or eligibility may result in denial or removal.

8. FREE ENTRY

The following are the official sources of competition information:

• Competition website
• Applicant or contestant portal
• Official calendar
• Written Agreement
• Official policies
• Official competition emails
• Published admin announcements

Group chats, verbal summaries, training slides, social-media posts, text messages, and reminders may support communication but do not replace the official written sources.

Contestants are responsible for regularly reviewing the portal, calendar, and official email.

Failure to read an official announcement does not automatically excuse a missed requirement.

13. PERFORMANCE POINTS

Performance points represent 15% of the final competition score.

The current 100-point performance structure is:

• Official Campaign Video: 40 points
• Application Quality: 15 points
• Queen Training Attendance and Punctuality: 10 points
• Queen Training Participation: 15 points
• Service and Advocacy: 10 points

Administrators may publish detailed rubrics.

Scores may be entered by assigned reviewers.

Contestants may view their own scores where enabled.

Internal reviewer identities may remain confidential.

The organization may correct clerical errors, documented scoring errors, duplicate records, or unauthorized entries.

All corrections must be logged.

14. VOTING IS THE PRIMARY FACTOR

Verified voting represents 85% of the final competition score.

Performance points represent 15%.

The final score is calculated as follows:

Weighted Voting Score + Weighted Performance Score = Final Competition Score

The contestant with the highest verified vote total receives a voting score of 100.

Other contestants receive a proportional voting score based on their verified votes relative to the highest verified vote total.

Voting remains the primary factor because voting donations support the scholarship and mission-centered work.

Performance points do not replace fundraising.

15. VOTE PRICE AND OFFICIAL VOTING CHANNEL

Each vote costs $2.50.

Voting must occur through the official Jotform payment form or another officially published payment channel.

Contestants may not:

• Create unauthorized voting forms
• Collect unofficial votes
• Accept money personally and represent it as an official vote
• Alter the official vote price
• Promise refunds
• Transfer votes between contestants
• Misrepresent how donations are used
• Claim donations belong to them
• Create false donor accounts
• Submit fraudulent transactions

Only verified votes processed through approved channels count.

16. VOTE AND PAYMENT STATUS

A submitted voting form does not automatically create verified votes.

Transactions may have statuses including:

• Pending
• Paid
• Verified
• Failed
• Refunded
• Disputed
• Chargeback
• Voided
• Flagged
• Rejected

Only verified votes count toward official totals.

Votes associated with failed, refunded, disputed, charged-back, duplicate, fraudulent, voided, or late transactions may be removed.

Vote totals may increase or decrease as payment statuses are updated.

17. LIVE LEADERBOARD

The Competition intends to provide a live or near-real-time verified leaderboard.

The leaderboard may display:

• Contestant rank
• Contestant name
• Verified votes
• College
• Photograph
• Time remaining
• Round
• Last updated time

Contestants understand:

• The leaderboard is provisional.
• Data may be delayed.
• Pending transactions may not appear.
• Totals may change after payment verification.
• Refunds, disputes, chargebacks, duplicate transactions, fraud findings, and technical corrections may reduce totals.
• Public rankings may be frozen, paused, hidden, or displayed differently during the final portion of voting.
• Final placement is not official until the audit and performance scoring are complete.

The organization may temporarily suspend the leaderboard for maintenance, review, safety, or integrity reasons without suspending voting.

18. COMPETITION ROUNDS

The Competition may use one or more rounds.

Possible rounds include:

• Application Round
• Campaign Video Round
• Queen Training Round
• Service and Advocacy Round
• Preliminary Voting Round
• Final Voting Round
• Final Audit

Rounds may be used for organization without eliminating contestants.

If a round includes advancement or elimination, the applicable rules must be published before that round begins.

The organization may adjust the structure before voting opens when necessary for operational reasons.

Material changes affecting active voting must be disclosed.

19. DONATIONS DO NOT BELONG TO CONTESTANTS

All votes are donations made in support of the Competition, scholarships, programming, operations, outreach, and mission-centered activities of the officially identified organizations.

Contestants are not raising personal income for themselves.

Contestants have no ownership right, possession right, reimbursement right, or personal claim to donations.

A contestant may not:

• Refer to donations as her personal money
• Demand a portion of donations
• Promise donors that money will be returned if she loses
• Withdraw donations
• Redirect donations
• Represent the fundraiser as her personal fundraiser
• Use donor information for unrelated purposes

20. NONREFUNDABLE VOTING AND DONATIONS

Unless otherwise required by law or payment-processor policy, votes and donations are final and nonrefundable.

No refund is owed merely because:

• A contestant does not win
• A contestant withdraws
• A contestant is removed
• A contestant is disqualified
• A donor changes their mind
• A donor misunderstands the leaderboard
• A contestant expected a different result
• A scholarship amount differs from personal expectations
• A contestant failed to read the rules
• A donor intended to support another contestant but selected incorrectly
• A technical delay temporarily affected display

Nothing in this section eliminates legally required refunds or valid fraud remedies.

Contestants are not entitled to:

• Full donor lists
• Donor email addresses
• Donor phone numbers
• Billing information
• Payment information
• Private donor messages
• Donation records unrelated to their campaign

Contestants may receive limited campaign analytics or public supporter information when the donor has expressly chosen to display it.

Donor information may not be copied, sold, shared, or used for unrelated campaigning.

• Appropriate for a faith-centered organization
• Clear that votes are donations

23. SOCIAL-MEDIA CONDUCT

Contestants may not:

• Bully another contestant

Professional conduct is required before, during, and after the Competition.

24. SERVICE AND ADVOCACY

Activities may be evaluated based on:

• Mission alignment
• Personal involvement
• Thoughtfulness
• Preparation
• Community impact
• Reflection

Activities will not be judged solely on money spent, audience size, social-media popularity, or access to large organizations.

• Maintain access to their account
• Keep contact information current

• Review portal announcements
• Review the calendar
• Complete required tasks
