EMI gives you the opportunity to spend a weekend investing in yourself with a professional practice pageant to prepare you for your dream title as well as life beyond the crown. You can prepare for your next pageant with virtual or in person coaching, walking imaginary stages, or modeling in tight spaces for weeks and months but now is the time to apply those practices to a real-life experience with a no- obligation option to contracts or appearances. We are simply here to help you be your best self for your next pageant.

Here are just some of the opportunities participants will receive or experience at an EMI event:

✅ When registering, you have the opportunity to choose from the

      following options:

      - Participate in this practice pageant for an age division title that 

        has no contract or appearance requirements

      - Participate in this practice pageant simply for practice without 

        being considered for an age division title

      - Participate in this practice pageant for an age division title

        while also being considered to represent EMI as a Brand

        Ambassador. Ambassadors will work with EMI to make a bigger
        difference in the lives of pageant participants everywhere

      - Participate in this practice pageant to be considered for only an

        EMI Ambassador Title

EMI Brand Ambassadors are chosen by our Ambassador Selection Committee. Participants should simply click HERE to complete and submit the "Why I would like to be an EMI Brand Ambassador" form on our site.
