Ad pages should be in color if possible. Ask your advertiser for camera ready ad copy if possible. If the advertiser does not have camera ready ad copy, have them submit a business card, depiction of their logo, a brochure or any other quality images and text they may have available. We will do our best to set up a quality advertisement for them if necessary. If you set up the ad pages yourself, leave room as shown above to put your photo somewhere on the ad pages, if possible. Sometimes that is not possible. 1/4 PAGE ADS PHOTO The contestant with the most ad pages over 5 will win our coveted Cover Girl title. If there is a tie in the number of ad pages between two contestants, the tie will be broken by the most dollars in ad sales.

If no one else has sold 5 ad pages, the Cover Girl title will not be awarded. There is no double crowning. The Cover Girl title is an “insurance” title in case one would not win their Queen title.
