During the pageant, contestants from ages 0-12 compete in a baseball-themed outfit, as well as a natural beauty dress.

According to Little Miss ALWS, “The pageant focuses on the contestant’s confidence on stage, their overall appearance, and if they are enjoying themselves while on stage. Clothing does not have to be expensive or lavish, if it fits the contestant’s personality, and they love it. The most important thing to remember is to relax on stage, have fun, and most importantly, smile.”

Contestants in all participate in both Beauty and Sportswear categories and their choice of optionals, including Photogenic, Best Hair, Best Eyes, Best Personality, and Best Model. Contestants must wear a Sunday best dress for beauty. If a Glitz dress is worn, points will be deducted from the competitor’s score. Fit and age appropriateness of dress are judged. For the Sportswear category, contestants must wear a baseball-themed outfit. These can be off-therack or custom-made.

This year’s 2023 Little Miss American Legion World Series winners include Baby Miss, Barrett Nanney; Toddler Miss, Everleigh Skye; Mini Miss, Laikyn Lucas; Tiny Miss, Maddie Rizzo; Little Miss, Skylar Blackburn; Junior Miss, Alex McIntyre; Mini Grand Majestic, Landon Johnson; Grand Majestic, Mia Ridley; and People’s Choice, Sadie Putnam.
