Please type your commentary and attach to your entry form or upload on the online registration page. For each category that you are entering we will need a separate commentary. Have someone read your commentary while you practice modeling. This will give you a better idea of how short or long you will need your commentary to be.
If you are a County winner, you may go on to the State Fashion Revue. You will need to bring pictures, swatches, and other required items with you so the forms can be completed and mailed on the day of our county event. We will have entry forms available. (State due date is May 12, 2008). Please review the State entry requirements here:
