Orlando, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/27/2017 --National American Miss (NAM), the nation's largest pageant for girls is currently having open calls in Florida. NAM has been around for over a decade and every year awards over $1,000,000 in cash, awards, scholarships, prizes, and more. The girls will gain self-confidence, self-respect, poise, communication skills, and above all…friends and memories that last a lifetime!

One of the most important aspects of National American Miss is that there are no hidden fees…all fees are disclosed up front. This is something you don't get from other beauty pageants. In addition, since NAM focuses on a girl's natural beauty, there is a "no-makeup" rule for girls ages 12 and under. Most importantly, there is NO swimsuit competition for any of the age groups. Instead, the girls will be scored in 4 categories: formal wear (30%), personal introduction (30%), interview (30%), and community involvement (10%).

The NAM's highly-acclaimed production team is not only the heart and soul of the organization, but they go above and beyond to make each and every pageant unlike any other. Best of all…no prior pageant experience is required! You will receive all of the information and help you need prior to the pageant.

The girl that earns the National Title for National American Miss will travel during the summer across the country representing the National American Miss Pageant Program. During the week of Thanksgiving, she will take an all-expense paid trip to Anaheim, California to attend the National Pageant. During this time, she will not only crown her successor, but she and a guest will receive a tour of Hollywood and enjoy a special day at Disneyland®!

So, get ready! Any girl is welcome to compete. Head to the next open call, and YOU could unleash your potential and don the next crown!
