Winning a pageant title often comes with various obligations that you must fulfill during your reign. One of the most common duties of a beauty queen is to make a set number of appearances on behalf of the pageant. The contest director can coordinate the appearances for you, or you may have to coordinate them yourself. This can be a difficult thing to do alone, especially if you have limited contacts in your area. With a bit of effort, you should be able to make enough appearances to successfully complete your reign.

Be available for media interviews. Submit press releases to advertise your title, as well as something that will generate interest in the media. This could be anything from a special talent you have to a charitable cause you are involved with. Tailor your press releases for specific media outlets.

Attend a theme night at a sporting event. A promotion used by some sports teams to increase attendance is a royalty night. Beauty queens receive free or discounted entry to a game for the promotion. Sometimes they are recognized at half time or throughout the game by the public announcer. Check with college or semi-pro teams in your area to see if they plan to offer this promotion next season.

Visit other contests. Search for online contests in your area. Visit the websites of all pageants you find to look for special invitations extended to beauty queens to attend the pageant. Admission to the event can be free or at a reduced price. There may also be a need for incumbents to act as judges, emcees, or entertainers.

Ride in a parade. Pageants have long been a destination for promoting beauty queens. While being in a show is a popular look, it can also be one of the most expensive. In general, you will need a suitable vehicle to travel, as well as money to pay the entrance fee for the parade. To keep costs down, arrange a joint appearance with other title winners and consider walking the parade route or riding in a vehicle.

Model for sponsors. If you received sponsorship funds from businesses such as a clothing store, wholesale jewelry company, or hair salon, offer to model on the site for a day. Model your crown and sash along with the clothing, jewelry, or hairstyles received from the sponsor for customers who come throughout the day.
