Age Divisions & Titles

River City Pageant Titles and Age Divisions

Depending on the number of registered contestants, a potential for a total of 3 Supreme Titles, 15 Royalty Titles, 2 Kinder Titles and a Baby Title, along with many other recognitions and awards, will be presented at the end of pageant competition.  Contestants winning Supreme, Service and Royalty Titles will become representatives of River City Pageant for the year and are required to make a minimum of 3 appearances during their reign and return to crown their successors at the following year’s pageant event.  Petite Princess, Jr. Prince, (both ages 4-5) and Baby (ages 0-3) will be invited to attend events that do not have a minimum age stipulation, but they are not required to make appearances. (See our Royalty Handbook for detailed information).

Supreme Titles

Here is where River City Pageant competition gets especially fun and different from other systems. In order to both recognize our top competitors and encourage our participants to raise more money for Spokane Parks Foundation, we give out bonus points for additional fundraising that are used to help boost competition scores for Supreme Titles.

First, the contestants over age 6 as of January 1st competition year with the top 10 overall pageant competition scores before fundraising is added will be selected as our "Supreme Finalists." This includes points for Personal Introduction, On-Stage Question, Theme Wear, Formal Wear and Mandatory Donations. Next, we calculate the bonus fundraising points that our Supreme Finalists earned and add them to their pageant scores. The way we calculate bonus fundraising points is to award any additional donation over the required $50 and/or swimsuits as follows: Every $10 = 1 point and 1 swimsuit = 1 point. After fundraising bonus points are added to our Supreme Finalists' totals, the top 3 highest overall scores will each win a Supreme title: Ultimate Supreme, Grand Supreme, or Supreme.

Ultimate Supreme Winner (ages 6+)

The Supreme Finalist with the highest combined overall score from required events plus bonus donation points out of all age divisions 6+.  Includes points for Personal Introduction, On-Stage Question, Theme Wear, Formal Wear, and total points for donations collected.  Winner receives a custom River City rhinestone crown, an embroidered satin sash with rhinestone trim, and a gift prize package. This title does not double crown.

Grand Supreme Winner (ages 6+)

The Supreme Finalist with the second highest combined overall score from required events out of all age divisions 6+.   Includes points for Personal Introduction, On-Stage Question, Theme Wear, Formal Wear, and total points for donations collected. Winner receives a custom River City rhinestone crown, an embroidered satin sash with rhinestone trim, and a gift prize package. This title does not double crown.

Supreme Winner (ages 6+)

The Supreme Finalist with the third highest combined overall score from required events out of all age divisions 6+.   Includes points for Personal Introduction, On-Stage Question, Theme Wear, Formal Wear, and total points for donations collected. Winner receives a custom River City rhinestone crown, an embroidered satin sash with rhinestone trim, and a gift prize package. This title does not double crown.

NOTE: Although it is possible to be a top fundraiser and still not win a Supreme Title, it is highly unlikely that you will win a Supreme Title without doing fundraising above and beyond the minimum required amount. Please visit our Donation Scoring page for compete details on how points are scored for Supreme Titles.

Queens/Kings: 1 Per Age Division 

The contestant in each age division with the highest competition score after the Supreme winners have been selected will be crowned. Includes points for Personal Introduction, On-Stage Question, Theme Wear, Formal Wear and Mandatory Donations. Bonus Points for donations above and beyond what is required are not used to calculate age division royalty  Winners receive an embroidered satin sash and a custom River City crown. These titles do not double crown. Supreme title holders will be selected from contestants ages 6+ so, if you are chosen as a runner-up in one of these age divisions, it could mean you've been "pulled" for a Supreme title.  Make sure to stick around!

Age division placements are based on how old a contestant is on January 1st of competition year.  

Jr. Division Titles
Princess (6-7) | Prince (boys 6-12) | Jr. Pre-Teen (8-9) | Pre-Teen (10-12)

Sr. Division Titles
King (men 13-27) | Jr. Teen (13-15) | Teen (16-18) | Miss (19-27)

Sophisticated Division Titles
Ms. (28-59) | Majesty (men 28-59) | Elegant (60+) | Refined (men 60+)

Please note that our Princess and Jr. Pre-Teen age division break down is slightly different from many other systems. 4-5-year-olds may compete for Kinder titles but will not be included in the Prince and Princess title divisions the way they might be in other systems.  As capable as some 4 and 5-year-olds may be, most places require children to be at least 6 years of age to volunteer, so we have set our minimum age requirements to meet those standards.
