Each contestant will compete in the following four (4) categories, all categories bearing equal weight: Personal Interview, Fitness Wear Presentation, Evening Gown and Fashion Modeling. The judges will be looking for the all-around woman who is ready and willing to promote not only the Mrs. & Ms. Earth organization but also the importance of service within her community. She may not be the most outstanding in every category but she will score highly in all four categories and will be the woman that the distinguished panel of judges feel is the best woman for the job of Mrs. Earth or Ms. Earth.  There is no set physical profile of a woman who enters our pageant.  We appreciate the fact that real women come in all different shape, colors, ages and sizes!  There is also no professional modeling, pageantry or acting experience necessary.  Participants are stay-at-home moms, mortgage brokers, doctors, teachers and more. They come to fulfill personal goals.
