Rialto Theater
February 15, 2025 @ 11am

How it works:

Children must be registered in advance through our Eventbrite page for $10 (plus fees) for them to be able to compete. All children competing must be registered in advance, no later than Thursday, February 13. There is only space for 25 children in each category, so tickets may sell out in advance.  Onsite registration is not allowed.

There will be four categories for the contest: Girls age 0-2, Girls age 3-4, Boys age 0-2 and Boys age 3-4. Contestants will be walked across the stage alone, or if unable to walk, by their parent or legal guardian, and judges will vote for the top winners in each category. One winner from each category will be selected by the judges based on two categories, Costume and Personality. Costumes will be evaluated for creativity, originality and overall cuteness; Personality is based on how the child presents themself to the audience and judges.

Participants MUST check in at the Rialto Theater no later than 10:30AM on February 15, or they will not be allowed to participate in the contest. No refunds will be given for participants who fail to arrive on time.
