A Message from your current reigning Mr. & Miss Northern Kentucky:

Dear Contestant,

Welcome to this years' Mr. & Miss Northern Kentucky Pageants! We are
thrilled that you have chosen to be a part of the long, and lasting, legacy that is
Northern Kentucky Pageantry. We truly feel that you will not find a more diverse,
fair, and entertaining, contest anywhere locally on the male entertainment and
female impersonation circuits. This is truly a pageant where the best contestant,
overall, will win; regardless of where he or she may come from, what name he or
she may have, or whether or not he or she has even competed in any other
pageants previously!
This handbook provides you with ANY and ALL the information needed in
order for you to be prepared for this years' competition; including a detailed
schedule and outline of how things will be ran the night of the contest.
So; please take the time to fully read this packet in its entirety, and use it
to plan accordingly.

In choosing this years theme for the opening/creative presentation

category, we wanted to select something that was distinct, easily accessible,
and still allowed complete artistic freedom to each individual entertainer.
This years chosen theme is; The Seven Deadly
Sins
Much thought went into the selection of a theme that would encompass
entertainers of ALL styles, abilities, shapes and sizes, and allow all contestants
to be true to their own personas.

As the current reigning, we want to wish you the best in this years
contest. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out
to either one of us for an answer, a suggestion or words of encouragement!
