Each contestant will go through an interview with pageant judges on Monday afternoon.

At the pageant on Tuesday, all contestants will be introduced on stage and, following introductions, will be asked a question from their application. Once all contestants have answered their questions, there will be a short intermission.

Following that intermission, the judges will narrow the field of contestants, and the final contestants will be asked a random question.

After the question has been asked of each finalist, there will be another intermission after which the winners will be announced.
