THE NATURE COURTESY TITLES

Within the pageant industry here are the distinctions between pageants.

 

Within the pageant industry the use of the Miss, Ms., or Mrs. courtesy titles is a means to quickly identify the difference between the pageant divisions and organizers. This allows potential contestants and those interested in pageants to immediately understand and identify the specific differences between pageants with similar titles. The courtesy title, or prefix, is the term that changes the meaning and type of pageants. This is why there is no confusion between various pageants with a common sounding title.

 

The courtesy title used before the dominate feature quickly informs the consumer of their eligibility to enter
a specific pageant, just as Teen presented before "America," informs the eligible consumer that they must be a Teenager living in America to enter. This is the same as having Black presented before "America," which informs the eligible consumer must be a Black American.

 

In the pageant industry commonly use three courtesy titles. These are:

 

Miss - Single, never married, nor given birth to a child.

Ms. - Single, divorced, widowed or married, with or without children.

Mrs. - Married, with or without children.
