Typically you have up until 1 week before your pageant production to turn in your sponsor based fees. All fees must be paid before you can compete in your pageant production. If you have any issues with obtaining the funds from sponsors to pay your fee please see your Director as soon as possible and preferable at least 2 weeks prior to pageant production. Also, some contestants run out of time and are not able to obtain the full amount of their sponsor fees. In this case your parents or yourself are welcome to pay out of pocket if you can afford to do so.
