OUR MISSION & VISION
revolve around the belief that true beauty comes from within.
We aim to build up self-confidence in young contestants, encouraging them to embrace their unique beauty, qualities and talents.
Our pageant also emphasizes the importance of community involvement, as we believe that by engaging with their local communities, children can develop a sense of empathy and social responsibility.
Furthermore, we prioritize environmental education, teaching participants about the importance of preserving our natural surroundings and fostering a sustainable future. Through our pageant, we strive to empower children to embrace their inner beauty, develop self-assurance, make a positive impact in their communities, and become advocates for environmental preservation.
Please join us for the most memorable pageant of a lifetime!

Rules
Little Miss Aotearoa New Zealand looks for girls with sparkling personalities. No pageant experience is necessary!
Light makeup and/or a light "sun-kissed" tan are allowed so that contestants are not "washed out" by stage lights; however, these should be age appropriate and only enhance the child's beauty. Hair extensions are allowed but not to be overdone. Fake teeth (flippers) and anything else that ages the contestant are not necessary. This is not a glitz pageant and everything should be age appropriate.
The national titles are non contract-binding, but you must return to the pageant next year to crown your successor. You are not allowed to compete in another pageant that would require you to give up your national title; however, you may compete in other pageants as long as they allow you to keep your title.
Participation in a National contest requires the contestant's parent or legal guardian reside, contestants must be age 6-17 as of 21st April, 2024.
