Program Ads

EXAMPLE ADS FROM THE 2016 ALABAMA PROGRAM BOOK AND THE LAST ONE IS MADELINE’S MRS. AMERICA PROGRAM BOOK AD

EASY AD IDEA:  “LOVE LINES”

I have uploaded two pages to illustrate a sample page of “Love Lines”.  Simply select a color head shot photo of yourself or you and your family….paste it in the middle of a plain white sheet of paper and then ask your friends and family to buy a “LOVE LINE”.  If you charge $25.00 per Oval for 10 Ovals you will have $250.00 to pay for the ad and the creation of your page..  The page is limited to 10 Ovals.  Send your Love Lines, Check and Photo to the Pageant Office and the messages will be typed in the Ovals.   Remember…..All ads must be full page and color.

SUBMIT ONLY FULL PAGE COLOR ADS AND COLOR PHOTOS FOR THE PROGRAM BOOK!!!!!!

ALL AD COPY AND MONEY MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE PAGEANT DIRECTOR  TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE PAGEANT DATE TO MEET THE PROGRAM PUBLISHING DEADLINE.  

WHY SELL ADS?
Each Contestant is encouraged to sell or buy at least one ad page for the State Program Book.  An Ad Page gives the judges an opportunity to see your picture in other poses with friends and family in addition to your “headshot.”  The judges receive a Program Book in their Judge Packet.  They see the photos before they see you.

PHOTOGENIC AWARD: The Photogenic Award will be selected by the Judges from the ADS in the Program Book..The number of ADS you have in the program will have no effect on the selection of the Photogenic Award or the winner of the title of Mrs. Alabama America.

*ALL ADS MUST BE CAMERA READY – *Camera Ready means the ad is created and ready to send to the program printer when we receive it in the pageant office.    If the ad has to be created there will be aN EXTRA $50.00 charge to create each ad added to the $200.00 price of the color full page ad.
