2002 PAGEANT PHOTOS...
 The 2004 Miss Klingon Empire Beauty Pageant is open to any qualified attending female member of the 2004 Dragon*Con who agrees to abide by the rules of this contest as posted here, now and in the future.  There is NO registration fee nor any additional cost to participate.  Members and relatives of the TrekTrak Staff, TrekTrak Programming Committee and/or Dragon*Con General Staff are ineligible to participate.  Membership in or affiliation with any Klingon-oriented organization (i.e., KAG, KLAW, etc.) is not required.

Contestants in the 2004 Miss Klingon Empire Beauty Pageant will be judged in three separate categories.  They include:

  • "Beauty" --- Contestants will be judged on the quality and professionalism of their costumes, make-up and "modeling."  Contestants may assume the identity of any Klingon female character from any incarnation of Star Trek, or any original Klingon persona of their own creation.  Contestants will be asked to walk a runway in their Klingon persona.  Poise, grace and the authenticity of her persona will be the criteria for judging.

    •  
  • "Talent" --- Contestants will be allowed NO MORE THAN THREE MINUTES to demonstrate a talent or skill.  Contestants may sing, dance, act, perform or make any other type of presentation that demonstrates a talent or skill so long as the presentation does not endanger herself, other contestants or the audience.  (In other words, no flaming bat'leth twirling, etc.)  Contestants are encouraged but not required to present a Klingon-themed talent or skill.  Originality and the authenticity of her persona will be the criteria for judging.  Contestants must disclose to the TrekTrak staff their talent intentions prior to the convention for planning purposes, but such information will be kept strictly confidential.  Audio, video or other technical equipment needed for a specific talent presentation can usually be provided with sufficient advance notice.

    •  
  • "Personality" --- Each contestant will either be asked a question to which she must respond, or be asked to perform some simple task on the spot.  The authenticity of her answer or performance, and of her persona, will be criteria for judging.

    Klingon Ships: Sponsor a Question, Have Your Banner Recognized!
    If your ship has a banner, you are invited to sponsor a question during the Personality competition.  For the duration of the entire pageant, all Klingon ships who sponsor one of the ten questions will have their banners displayed side-by-side on the back of the stage.  During the Personality competition, each banner will be brought to the front of the stage as each contestant returns to the stage for her question.  The MC will then announce to the audience, "This question is sponsored by the IKV YourShipsName from YourCity, YourState.  Contestant #1, IKV YourShipsName would like to ask...."  This is a terrific way to get your ship's name announced to the audience and preserved forever for posterity on the pageant video!

    The cost to sponsor a Personality question is only $10.  The monies raised from these sponsorships will help offset the expenses of the many prizes awarded to the pageant winner.  Sponsorships must be received by August 1, 2004.  If you would like more information about sponsoring a Personality question, send email to TrekTrak Director Eric L. Watts.  If your ship would like to sponsor a Personality question, please send your check or money order payable to "TrekTrak" to Eric L. Watts, PO Box 71, Tucker GA  30085-0071, or click the "Make a Donation" button below to donate safely and securely via PayPal.  Thank you!
