Contest Details
A panel of judges will select 8 contestants from all entries to compete on stage.  We will announce the 8 finalists on April 10th.  Contestants will have until May 1st to pay their $25 entry fee.  Preliminary judging will be based on your character photo and bio.  Optional video can be downloaded to youtube.com.

Sponsors: Consider haunted attractions or costume shops as a sponsor to cover the $25 entrance fee!  All final 8 contestants must be registered by May 1st for the convention to be in the contest. Only one entry per sponsor.  Haunted attractions/sponsors can only have one entry to represent them.

The 8 selected contestants will perform on stage in costume/character for 30 seconds in front of our party audience and our panel of judges.  You may provide pre-recorded music to be played during your performance (on a CD) with a 30 second limit.

Our Emcee will read your introduction (Max 100 word limit).  Final contestants must submit the introduction with your payment by May 1, 2012.

You must be at least 18 years old by June 9, 2012 to compete.

MHC representatives, corporate sponsors, media representatives and guest speakers will serve as judges for the pageant.

The pageant will be held on Saturday, June 9th, 2012 starting at 9:30 p.m. at the MHC at the Hyatt Regency.  You must check with the DJ by 8:30 pm.

All contestants will be asked to sign a Model Release form.

Duties of the “Queen”

Upon appointment, the Queen is expected to serve as an official MHC ambassador and greet guests throughout the remainder of the evening and at the convention activities on Sunday.

She should be available for photos with attendees and interviews promoting the convention.  Additionally, she can promote the MHC convention and the industry by wearing the banner while visiting events or conventions throughout the year, on a voluntary basis.

Once you are Ms Midwest Haunt, you are always Ms Midwest Haunt.  The sash/ banner and tiara are yours to keep.  You may wear them with pride indefinitely.  We hope you will return in future years of the MHC and wear them.
