Fill your next pageant
with the girls you already had.
Every season most directors start from zero, because last year's list is scattered across a form account, a spreadsheet, and a Facebook group. Pageant Alert keeps it in one place — so in January you invite everyone who ever competed with you in one tap. Free, and you don't change a thing about how you run registration.
Free · No card · About a minute
The list you lose every January.
A girl who competed with you last year is the easiest entry you will ever get. Almost nobody asks her back — not from unwillingness, but because by January her details are gone.
Names in a form account you'd have to log back into, a spreadsheet on the old laptop, and a group chat where half of them muted notifications in March.
One list, every girl who ever signed up for any of your pageants, still current — because active contestants keep it current themselves.
A Facebook post that reaches whoever the algorithm picks, and an afternoon of copying addresses if you want to do it properly.
One tap. Or pick just the girls who came back before, or the ones who haven't entered in two seasons.
A group text turns into a switchboard — forty replies to your personal phone on the one day you can't afford it.
Your message goes out, your phone stays quiet. One-way by design, and you see who read it.
You announced the room change. Whether thirty people heard it is anyone's guess.
Read receipts fill in live. You phone the two who haven't seen it instead of worrying about sixty.
Every new tool wants to replace the form that already works.
Unchanged. This never touches registration — it takes whatever registration produced.
Texting services charge per message, every season, and can't send until carrier registration clears.
Free. All of it. Nothing to cancel, nothing to approve, and you can send your first message today.
Your list can even be larger than your entry list — girls who signed up but never entered are the warmest names you'll ever hold, and they're flagged separately rather than treated as mistakes.
Pageant day, without your phone melting.
Your Facebook group is where they chat. This is where they hear you.
Room change, straight to her lock screen.
Type the subject and the details, check the confirmation, send. Every girl who's set up gets it immediately — and so does her mother, on her own phone.
See exactly who read it.
Receipts fill in live. Anyone genuinely unreachable is flagged separately, so you know which unread names are worth a phone call and which just haven't looked yet.
"You're next" sends itself.
Type the interview order once. Each girl gets her own alert a few minutes before her turn — and if the day slips an hour, every call time moves with it.
One-way is the feature.
There is no reply box anywhere in this product, and that's the point. Contestants see the way you actually want to be contacted instead — so a girl in trouble still has a route to you, and the other fifty-eight don't.
A push can't be unsent.
No product can recall one. So before anything goes out you see the exact subject and exactly how many people will get it. We'd rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise.
iPhones need one extra step.
Alerts only work once the app is on her Home Screen. We walk her through it, send a real test alert, and don't count her as ready until she confirms she saw it.
It doesn't send texts.
Push notifications and email. If a text message is specifically what you need, our guide on texting contestants tells you what the services actually cost.
Your list is somewhere. Bring it.
We ask one question — where are your contestants now? — and show you the one path that applies. Nothing else.
Drop in a spreadsheet.
Any CSV, a Jotform export, or rows pasted straight out of Excel. No template, no renaming columns. Bad rows get named; they never stop the import.
Or start with no list at all.
Put your link on the entry form you already use — "while you're here, sign up for pageant alerts" — and girls opt in themselves. Every pageant gets a printable QR code too.
Or type in twenty names.
Name and email. For a director with a stack of paper entry forms this is genuinely the fastest way, and it takes a few minutes.
And a few things you'll find later.
None of it is on your screen on day one. It shows up when it's relevant to you, and not before.
One button that picks a contestant at random, spinning through real names on screen so the room can see it land.
Door prizes, sponsor giveaways, interview running order — and prize draws open only to girls whose alerts are working, which is the fastest way to fix your set-up rate.
A contestant is one line on your roster. Her mother, both parents, a grandmother — any of them can be attached and get the same alerts.
A six-year-old needs no login at all. A teen and her mother both get the room change, and it still counts as one girl, read once.
Hair, makeup, and tanning apply to your pageant; you approve or decline. Coaches and photographers you recommend yourself.
Your girls get someone local, you're not the booking agent, and you never see any of it until somebody actually applies.
One checkbox lists your pageant on PageantDates.com, free, and the listing follows your changes.
You came here to reach the girls you already have. You may find girls you don't.
Pageant Alert doesn’t run your pageant.
It reaches your girls and keeps your list. If you hit a wall somewhere else — registration, payments, judging, being found — these are the tools next door, and they’re run by the same people.
