Competing in a pageant?
You don’t create an account here. Your director sends you a link, and that link sets everything up — because it already knows which pageant you’re in.
Find your link
- Check your email. It comes from your director’s name — “Sarah Mitchell has invited you to Miss Tennessee Teen”. Look in your spam folder too; it’s the most common place it hides.
- Look for a QR code. Directors often print one for the check-in table, the dressing room, or rehearsal. Point your phone camera at it.
- Ask your director. She can send it again, or add you herself in about ten seconds. She has a button for exactly this.
Open the link on your phone. That’s the device the pageant-day alerts have to reach — a laptop is no use to you backstage.
Already set up?
Parents and guardians sign in here too — you get the same alerts on your own phone.
Looking for a pageant to enter?
Pageant Alert isn’t a place to find pageants — it’s how you hear from the director once you’ve entered one. PageantDates is a free directory of upcoming pageants you can search by state and date. Once you enter one, ask that director whether she uses Pageant Alert.
What you get
- Schedule changes and room changes on pageant day, the moment she sends them.
- Your deadlines, and your own interview or call time highlighted.
- Every pageant you’ve entered in one place, with a record of what you’ve won.
- It’s free, it never sends you texts, and your director can’t be replied to through it — so you won’t get dragged into a group chat.
