It is highly discouraged for any contestant to compete in another pageant system while competing for RUP. The reason for that is it takes a lot of energy and time to prepare for your production. You have to do interviews, community service, other pageant activities like photo shoots and challenges, and you have to attend each pre-pageant workshop. That means you need to be focused on the task at hand and your overall goal, which is winning the title and taking the crown. That takes a lot of work and if you are doing the same for another system you may get burnt out and crash or become so weary that you are not able to carry on through prep and the final production. We want our contestants to be prepared and ready body, mind and spirit for what lies ahead preparing for a pageant production. So, once you sign the RUP Contestant contract you will see that we expect total commitment and devotion to RUP only.
