Welcome!
This pageant is brought to you by the same directors that
have produced Tropical Dream Stars USA for the last 18
years! Welcome to the TDS sister pageant, America’s Grand
Miss National! AGM is very different from TDS but we feel
you will enjoy it just as much! We welcome each and every
one of you! This will be an exciting 7th year, as we crown
our 2013 National Grand Royalty! You may compete in beauty
and your choice of optionals to qualify for the supreme
titles! We are very proud to guarantee lots of cash prizes
and top quality custom created LOGO crowns! Our crowns are
breathtaking! We do not pro-rate. All prizes are guaranteed,
no matter how many contestants! Our judges will be looking
for a beautiful face. Please note that anyone may
compete and win at AGM, because expensive glitz attire is
not what our judges are looking for. This is not a
natural pageant system, styled hair and make up is
absolutely allowed and should flatter the contestant based
on age. Supremes are based on your total beauty score:
1-30 + your ONE Highest optional event 1-30. Please call
should you have any questions!
