THE REGISTRATION PROCESS
When to Register:
Registration is required for an audition and time slots for auditions are limited in each city. You should therefore register as early as possible on-line, as each contestant who registers fills another slot and represents one less opportunity for you to audition. Once the audition slots are filled, there will simply be no more this season for that city.
Also note, the times for auditions are offered on a first-come basis in the order of registration. To have the widest choice of times, you should register as soon as possible.
All information concerning registration and audition locations, dates and times is tentative at this time. Continue to check our website DAILY at www.americasmissgirlnextdoor.com for the most up-to-date registration and audition schedules and information.

You should look your best, act your best and do your very best at your talent and presentation to the Judge's. You know that it is true, your FIRST impression will last forever... remember that as you meet and greet the Judges and even before that, as you're choosing your clothing, your talent/presentation and as you prepare mentally and emotionally for your audition! Be prepared to greet the Judge's... even before that, be prepared to meet and interact with the Emcee, he will be there to talk to you and interview you 'before and after' your audition. You will greet the Judge's, they might have a question or two for you or they might just ask you to perform your talent. You might be requested by the producer to perform longer and/or to perform again. All rules and procedures are subject to change at producer's sole and absolute discretion. You may NOT repeat your performance unless you are asked... you may NOT change your talent unless you are asked to do so. Anyone who refused to leave the audition stage when asked, may be immediately disqualified at the sole discretion of the Producer.
