"Little Miss Pageant" is a type of beauty pageant designed for young girls, typically aged between 4 and 12 years. These events often focus on various categories, including talent, interview skills, and evening wear. Participants compete for titles, crowns, and sometimes scholarships, showcasing their poise and personality. These pageants can promote confidence and public speaking skills among young contestants. However, they also face criticism for placing emphasis on physical appearance at a young age. Organizations like Miss America and Miss Universe have inspired similar competitions, but "Little Miss Pageant" specifically targets a younger demographic.
