Judging Procedures
Each age group will have three separate events in front of their selected panel of judges.
Judges are selected by the Winter Carnival committee and do change from year to year.
Judges have the difficult task of scoring contestants in 4 categories (Appearance, Poise, Personality & Voice Clarity) during each event.
Contestants are scored in each category on a 1-10 scale. After each event, score sheets are sealed for professional and confidential tallying.
At the conclusion of the pageant, each age group will have 5 runner up contestants and 1 overall winner.
The overall winner from each age group will make up the 2026 Greater Pottsville Winter Carnival royalty!
