28 years ago I started as a pageant mom, with 2 daughters who loved to
compete. Both my girls have won numerous titles throughout their 10 year
careers.
20 years ago I started Ultimate Dream Queen. I decided to begin my own
pageant system. My goal was to provide the highest quality pageant
experience as well as a fair and honest pageant system. I wanted to eliminate the
undesirable aspects of pageantry and make it an enjoyable and positive
experience for the entire family. And I've done that with UDQ and UDF.
Our goal from the first pageant was to offer a fun and enjoyable experience for
the kids. We want instill self-confidence, develop interpersonal skills as
well as a healthy sense of sportsmanship. Our aim is to insure a fun and
positive learning experience for all our contestants.
The poise and courage exhibited by contestants willing to walk on stage will
provide them with memories that will last a lifetime, it will enhance their lives and
give them confidence as they pursue their ambitions in life.
Everyone who has participated in the Ultimate Dream Queen experience has
played an important role in our evolution. Whether it be contestants, judges,
parents or sponsors all have played important roles in demonstrating the
fairest and honest pageant system. UDQ/UDF offers a wholesome experience for
the
entire family. And we look forward to many more years of pageantry and hope
you will be part of it.
