2023 PROGRAM BOOK AD PAGE REQUIREMENTS & INFO
***SCROLL DOWN FOR ALL THE INFO!***
FINAL AD PAGE DEADLINE is AUGUST 16th, 2023
NO EXCEPTIONS ON DEADLINE - LATE FEES APPLY AFTERWARDS!
Dear UNITED STATES NATIONAL PAGEANTS Delegates:
It's a pleasure for all of us at PAGEANT DESIGN to be able to work with you! We are the graphic designers of your official Program Book and our goal is to ensure it is a beautiful memento that you will treasure for years to come! We will ensure that each and every one of you looks awesome on the printed page!
Please note the following (PLEASE READ IN FULL!):
• Great news! As a Delegate, you will be featured in one STANDARD Ad Page in the official Program Book!
It's all already included with your All-Inclusive Fee, so there is NO extra cost for this! :)
You are just required to submit a photo to us (more on this below), so that we can showcase you and your Title!
• Additional pages (which we call PERSONALITY PAGES) are optional and strongly encouraged.
Make the most of this experience and capture the Judge's attention with multiple pages and unique design options!
• We are the *only* authorized graphic designers for the Pageant. In order to maintain a visual and aesthetic consistency throughout the entire Program book, *no* other designers are allowed.
• The design of your STANDARD ad page is ALREADY INCLUDED in your All-Inclusive Fee!
This is for the design of 1 (one) STANDARD PAGE.
A "Standard" Ad Page means 1 full page, full color, single photo design (please see the samples below to get an exact idea of what a STANDARD PAGE looks like).
• You can also choose from a number of OPTIONAL, one-of-a-kind, more visually complex and eye-catching lay-outs.
We call these PERSONALITY PAGES (which can be either a single-page, or a 2-page "spread" design) and we also offer an incredible
CUSTOM FRONT COVER option! Please see below for more info on this!
• EXTRA FEES:
In the case of the OPTIONAL designs, there are additional fees to consider. These fees cover our graphic design and lay-out services, as well as the printing, binding and shipping costs associated with these additional pages. These fees are payable directly *on this very webpage* and will cover the extra design work and printing costs. These fees are SEPARATE FROM the All-Inclusive Fee, or any other fees payable to the Pageant. Please see all the options below for all the details.
• You can submit your files and place an order for your ad page/s right here!
In order to do so, simply please follow the instructions below.

OPTIONAL STYLE #1
PERSONALITY SINGLE PAGE
1 X Unique single page design with a single photo of your choosing.
This is the first of our OPTIONAL ad page choices.
100% custom made just for YOU!
In this option, you can:
- Showcase your unique look
- Include extensive text, if needed
PLEASE NOTE: This optional upgrade requires an additional fee:
This additional fee covers the 100% custom design of the more complex lay-out,
as well as the printing of the extra page.
These fee is payable on this page, below. See below.
IMPORTANT: LOGOS are considered additional images, so *no* logos are allowed on a SINGLE PHOTO option. Please select our 2-Page Spread option (below) if you would like to include logos.
OPTIONAL STYLE #1 COST:
$425
PAYING WITH A PHONE?
If you are using a phone to place your order, and depending on the settings on your device, you may not be able to enjoy all the check-out options offered through PayPal. But no problem! In that case, simply please send in your payment directly via PayPal to this address:
info@pageantdesignsolutions.com
OPTIONAL STYLE #2
PERSONALITY 2-PAGE SPREAD
Our second PERSONALITY option is an awesome looking, 2-page wide "spread" lay-out.
Think of it as a "centerfold" ad page, or a magazine-style article, with both the left and right pages all for yourself!
Want to REALLY stand out with a lay-out that's fit for a Queen?
This 2-page wide PERSONALITY "spread" is sure to capture everybody's attention and will NOT go unnoticed in the Program Book!
In this option, you can:
- Showcase multiple photos, up to 3.
- Include extensive text, if needed
- Include sponsor logos, if needed
- Showcase your many facets and achievements
- Be as creative as you'd like!
In this case, we recommend photos with a "wide" (or landscape) format. This is NOT a requirement, however. Merely a recommendation. The extra-wide format of the 2-page spread works best with horizontally-shaped images, but it *CAN* also work with any other image, too! See the samples above for ideas!
PLEASE NOTE: This optional upgrade requires an additional fee:
This additional fee covers the 100% custom design of the more complex lay-out,
as well as the printing of the extra page.
These fee is payable on this page, below. See below.
OPTIONAL STYLE #2 COST:

NOTES, TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS
PLEASE READ IN FULL!
A NOTE ON HIGH RESOLUTION ("Hi-Res") PHOTOS
• NO LOW RESOLUTION IMAGES!
We want to make sure your Ad looks great once printed! But for that, we need a *high resolution* photo file (and one *without* any photographer "watermarks" or super-imposed logos).
How to retrieve the original, hi-res file? Easy!
Your photographer should have this file, or it could have been provided to you on a CD or a download link
(for example, a Dropbox link... if so, please do share that link with us).
Please also note the following:
- do not use any non-professional software to crop or alter the original image file in any way.
- please use a desktop computer instead of a phone when submitting the photo
- Do *NOT* take a "screenshot" of the photo with your phone
- if using a desktop or laptop computer is not possible, please always select "actual size" or "large" when sending the file and never "small" or "medium".
- in all cases, please do not "copy and paste" the photo to the body of the e-mail message, but add it as an attachment instead.
- If you have a download link provided to you by your photographer, please share that link with us.
CHOICES, CHOICES...
Please note: due to the fact that the photo selection for an ad page is a very personal one, we kindly ask that you choose the image you'd like to use on your ad page yourself and that you ensure that you send us the ***correct*** image file. We are always happy to offer our advise and recommendation in the event that you are not sure what photo to use, but it's important that YOU are 100% happy with the photo you choose for your ad page!
MAKE SURE YOU SEND US THE CORRECT PHOTO!
The photo determines the entire lay-out and design of your ad page, so please do note that if you change your mind and decide to use a different photo after-the-fact (after the page has been designed using the photo originally submitted by you), a new order would be required. We can *not* change the photo once an ad page has been designed. Please do keep this in mind and always ensure you send us the correct image file.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
By submitting your photo/s of choice via e-mail to us, you authorize us to use said photo/s for the purposes of creating your ad page. You also assume full responsibility for the use of the photo/s. We assume that the photo/s have been purchased by you from your photographer or photography business of choice. We also assume that by submitting the photo/s to us, you have previously received and signed the proper Release Form (provided to you by said business) that allows you to use the photo/s in any way you choose. We are not responsible nor liable for the misuse of the photo/s on your part in any way, shape or form. We will of course give full and proper credit to the photographer of your choice, as indicated by you when you fill out the form above. If the "Photographer Credit" line is left empty by you in the form above, we also assume you have full ownership of said photo/s and are free to use it/them in any way, shape or form.
