Contestants will participate in the following Categories:
1) Personal Interview - (150 points/ Per Judge)
Each contestant will be interviewed individually, by the judging panel. The purpose of the Personal Interview is to allow the judges some insight into the character and intellect of each contestant. During the interview, the judges evaluate each contestants basic qualities, such as intelligence, ability to communicate, attitude, composure, etc. The judges may also gather information about a contestants professional or personal life. The attire for interview is professional business wear; each contestant should select clothing which projects the contestant in a professional light. You should dress as you would for a professional job interview. This category is divided into three sub-categories:
Overall Appearance ( 0-50 points )
Personality ( 0-50 points )
Communication and Answer Content ( 0-50 points )
Each contestant will receive one question per judge from the distinguished panel of judges or seven minutes whichever comes first during the interview process. The tone of the interview is relaxed as we want our contestants to feel comfortable. Our Gay United States title holders will not only be entertainers but will also serve as administrators, spokespeople, and promoters. Contestants will be asked a variety of questions ranging from occupation, current events, social issues, community involvement and leadership, and the LGBT community. Personal Interview will hold no questions pertaining to political views, religious views, or sexual orientation as these are not permitted. Although the interview is considered relaxed all contestants are asked to use their better judgment.
