The contestants in the Second Annual Little Miss 478 Beauty Pageant are set to take center stage on Saturday, August 9, 2025.

This year’s theme, “I’m Every Woman,” is a tribute to the strength, brilliance, and resilience of women from all walks of life.

Contestants ages 5 and older will compete in the Fun Fashion portion, where they will don an outfit that represents their future profession or honors a trailblazing woman in history.

The pageant is for contestants from Macon and surrounding areas, who range in age from newborns to 13 years old. 

Every contestant will be crowned with a tiara, ensuring that all participants leave feeling like winners. The competition is divided into the following title divisions:

Baby Miss 478: 0-11 months (escort needed)

Teeny Miss 478: 1-2 years (escort needed)

Toddler Miss 478: 3-4 years (escort needed)

Tiny Miss 478: 5-7 years*

Junior Miss 478: 8-10 years*

Little Miss 478: 11-13 years*

(*Denotes divisions that will participate in an on-stage question.)

Contestants will be judged on overall stage appearance, personality, confidence, and walk. 

Those in divisions for ages 5 and up will also answer an age-appropriate on-stage question. While a talent showcase is not required, participants are encouraged to bring their best selves to the stage with just two outfit changes for the event. 

Escorts for younger contestants should wear all-black attire and must be a parent or guardian with whom the child is comfortable.

Each division will crown one winner, who will receive a tiara, trophy, and sash, along with a first runner-up who will receive a tiara and sash. Additionally, a People’s Choice Princess will be chosen in each division based on online voting.

People’s Choice Voting: Voting takes place via an online portal from June 9, 2025, until 8 a.m. on pageant day, August 9, 2025. Each vote costs $1, and the link for voting will be shared via social media and email with pageant parents.

Judges’ scorecards will be available within 48 hours upon email request to TheLittleMiss478PageantExperience@gmail.com.
