The winner of the Miss Arab Universe Pageant will receive a $10,000 USD conditional cash prize! Here’s how it works:
Once the 24 final contestants are selected, there will be a six-week preparation period before the pageant. During this time, contestants are encouraged to connect with businesses and individuals in their communities to seek monetary sponsorships. While participation in this activity is optional, it provides an opportunity for contestants to demonstrate community involvement and support the Miss Arab Organization’s charitable initiatives.
Your participation in the fundraising program will have a minimal impact on your final pageant score. The points awarded are based solely on effort, not the amount of money raised. For instance:
- Contestant A makes an effort to approach various businesses and individuals but receives no donations.
- Contestant B raises $20 from her efforts.
- Contestant C raises $3,000 from her community.
In this case, Contestants A, B, and C will all receive the same score for their efforts, regardless of the total amount raised.
The funds raised go towards Miss Arab's travel expenses and charity activities. At the end of the competition, the pageant winner will receive:
- $10,000 USD, provided she has raised a minimum of $1,000 USD, or
- All the money she personally raised, if it exceeds the $10,000 prize amount.
Prize Breakdown Examples:
-
Contestant D secures $10 from her uncle, $300 from a local supermarket, and $1,000 from a law firm, totaling $1,310. Since she met the $1,000 minimum requirement, she will receive the full $10,000 USD cash prize.
-
Contestant G raises $3,000 from family, $5,300 from a supermarket, and $8,000 from a law firm, totaling $16,300. Since her total exceeds $10,000, she will receive $16,300 USD as her prize.
-
Contestant M raises $150 from family, $200 from a supermarket, and $500 from a law firm, totaling $850. Since she did not meet the $1,000 minimum, she will receive $850 USD as her cash prize.
It’s important to note that it is entirely possible to win the pageant without raising any money. However, in such cases, the winner will not receive a cash prize.
Tips for Securing Sponsors:
- Start with people you know: friends, family, and local businesses you are familiar with.
- Highlight that the Miss Arab Organization is a non-profit charity organization.
- Personalize your requests and mention that if you win, all donations will go directly back to you.
- Emphasize the Miss Arab Pageant’s mission to promote community involvement and support young women.
- Mention your past efforts and commitment to your community.
The goal of this activity is to foster connections within your local community. Participation is not mandatory, and you will not lose your chance at winning if you choose not to participate. Remember, the points awarded depend only on effort, not on the amount of money raised.
