The
Ninth Annual Miss Klingon Empire Beauty
Pageant is open to any qualified attending female
member of the 2007 Dragon*Con,
who is at least 21 years of age, except for members
and relatives of the TrekTrak Staff, TrekTrak
Programming Committee and/or Dragon*Con General Staff, 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. Membership in or affiliation with any
Klingon-oriented organization (i.e., KAG, KLAW, etc.) is not required.
Contestants
in the 2007 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.
