The contest falls in line with the Ms. America Pageant:

The following portions of the competition are what the contestants are judged on:
1.Personal Interview - In the Personal Interview portion of the competition each contestant converses with the judges on a variety of topics, from frivolous trivia to serious political and social issues. The contestant is awarded points for being well spoken, polite, articulate, and confident. This competition is less known by the general public than other aspects of the pageant, since unlike the other three, it does not take place on a theater stage, nor is it usually televised. The Personal Interview counts for 25% of the contestant's overall score.
2.Talent - In the Talent portion of the competition the contestant performs on stage before the judges and an audience. The most common talents are singing or dancing, but a variety of other talents may be exhibited at the contestant's choosing; some have demonstrated juggling, playing musical instruments, ventriloquism, quick-draw painting. The Talent portion of the competition counts for 35% of the contestant's overall score.
3.Lifestyle & Fitness in Swimsuit - In the Swimsuit portion of the competition contestants walk on the stage in swimsuits and high-heeled shoes. The Miss America pageant regulates certain minimum standards of modesty the swimwear must comply with. Judging for this portion of the competition focuses on overall physical fitness, poise and posture. The Swimsuit competition counts for 15% of the contestant's overall score.
4.Evening Wear - In the Evening Wear portion of the competition, the contestants are judged on poise and bearing as they walk across the stage. The Evening Wear portion of the competition counts for 20% of the contestant's overall score.
5.Onstage Question - During the Evening Wear competition the contestants are asked a random question from a predetermined list that they must then answer onstage with no preparation. Questions are topical and usually involve current events. The questions require the contestant to have knowledge of the event and provide an opinion. The Onstage Question counts for 5% of the contestant's total score

All scores are rated 1-10. One being God-awful, and Ten being Supreme.

Example:

Harely Quinn


92786

(note: these ratings of Harley are based before they bleeched/jokerized her.)

1. Personal Interview: 7 (It's impossible Harley's quirkiness would shine through and hardly come off as poise and demeaner. Still, there is an undeniable cuteness to her that would bleed through the interview.)

2. Talent: 10 (A juggling slam dunk.)

3. Swimsuit: 8 (Harley is hot, but IMO not a drop dead 10.)

4. Evening wear: 7 (The clownish side of her would never allow her to carry the poise that she very well could in an evening gown.)

5. Onstage question: 8 (Being a former shrink certainly helps in on-the-fly q&a)

Now with some simple math we can find out score.

1. 7 x .25 (25%) = 1.75
2. 10 x .35 = 3.5
3. 8 x .15 = 1.2
4. 7 x .2 = 1.4
5. 8 x .05 = .4

Totaled is - 7.35

So (at least by my calculations), Harely is a 7.35

Not a bad score.
Can it be beat? Is it even accurate? Time will tell I suppose.

Anyways, I hope ya'll enjoy the premise and I look forward to the posts.

If it catches on, we can crown a winner as well as fill out the other categories:

Spirit of America Award-
Power of the Crown Award-
Crown for a Purpose Award-
Media Award-
Woman of Distinction Award-
Ms. Photogenic Award-
Ms. Congeniality Award-
Community Service Award-
Ms. Fitness-

Also, some of you may have noticed the Ms. Marvel U thread as well. If this all does catch on, I plan on running an Indie pageant as well, and the three winners (from Marvel, DC and Indie) will face off in a finally to decide comics top diva (atleast as far as pageantry is concerned.)

Zatanna

92793

1. Personal Interview: 10 (A trained stage performer as well as a magician.)

2. Talent: 10 (If you thought Harely's juggling act was cool, imagine Zatanna's talent show with all that magic.)

3. Swimsuit: 9 (Certainly a stunning beauty)

4. Evening wear: 9 (With class to spare)

5. Onstage question: 9 (She might even say it backwards, just for style points)

Overall - 9.6

Batgirl (Babs)

92806

1. Personal Interview: 9 (Between being up-to-date on important issues and use to performing [playing the role of daughter for the commish while running around at night with the Batman], the personal interview is right up Barbra's wheel house.)

2. Talent: 9 (Olympic level gymnast.)

3. Swimsuit: 8 (Babs is hot, but hardly a drop-dead knock-out. I hope she doesn't find out I said that...like you can hide anything from the Oracle.)

4. Evening wear: 10 (She's been to enough policemen balls to know how to carry herself in the gown. Being a gymnast, the poise is easily carried.)

5. Onstage question: 10 (She's use to answering the tough questions on the spot from such decerning minds as from Bats to Gordon.)

Overall - 9.1

Supergirl (Kara)

92813

1. Personal Interview: 7 (Her concept is struggling with "earth's ways" after all. But she's no dummy.)

2. Talent: 6 (Too dependant on powers to set a mindblowing talent show, IMO.)

3. Swimsuit: 10 (Blonde hair, blue eyed top notch hottie.)

4. Evening wear: 8 (She'd look good, but the poise comes into play, and Kara has always had a lil ackwardness to her.)

5. Onstage question: 6 (Again, getting use to earth's affairs, and as stated, comes across ackward sometimes.)

Overall - 7.25

Since this isn't DCnU, presumably, Starfire would probably win due to her demeanor.

Unlikely, Wonder Woman would probably take it.

Star Fire would probably pull a Ms. South Carolina with her onstage question. And not sure if her Personal Interview would be stellar either. Her "openness" might not be viewed to fondly by the judges

Depends on who's judging (and how . . . open . . . they are).

Thank you all for your interest in this experiment, and the time you took to respond. Perhaps we could do like they do in the pageant, and average the total scores given for any that receive multiple votes, or something along that line.

I'm totally open to any ideas on how to make the contest more fair. Also, any age of character (from golden to new u) are available.

Thanks again guys and gals. I hope this has been as fun for you to participate in as it was to come up with. ^.^
