This is not a beauty contest.  Contestants do not need artistic talent to enter.  Entrants will be judged on their ability to communicate (speaking ability), message, promptness, and appearance. Judging will take place prior to the Fair. The results will remain sealed until the winner announcement on the first night of the Fair.

1. Entrant must be a female at least 16 years of age and not over 20 years old by June 1 of the contest year, be a U.S. Citizen and a resident of Pennsylvania. In addition, she must also meet one of the following criteria:
   • live in or attend/graduated from one of the surrounding school districts (Phoenixville, Spring-Ford, Owen J. Roberts, Downingtown, Great Valley, CAT-Pickering, Kimberton Waldorf or Renaissance Academy),
   • be an exhibitor of the Kimberton Community Fair,
   • be a resident of Chester County
     
     
2. Be single, have never been married, have not been pregnant nor given birth to a child.
   
   
3. Not be a former Fair Queen winner or a former State Fair Queen contestant.  You are not permitted to hold any additional year-long title during your reign, for any commodity, group or pageant. Exception: does not include things like Homecoming Queen or being selected as the “PA State Fair Queen”.
   
   
4. Entrants must have their parent or legal guardians’ signature on the entry form.  The purpose of this signature is to allow Kimberton Fair to use the transcript for the interview.  This entry signature also ensures the parent/guardian is aware of her participation in this contest and provides their consent to photos and videos that will be taken of all contestants for the use of promoting the Kimberton Community Fair and Fair Queen Program.
   
   
5. Entrants should be able to meet all time commitments, Queen Obligations, Behavior Policy, and dress code as set forth by the Kimberton Fair Board and the Pennsylvania State Fair Queen Program.
   
   
6. Be an upstanding citizen and of good moral character (at the discretion of the Fair Board).
   
   
7. Entrants will be required to attend each night of the Kimberton Community Fair to participate in nightly activities.
   
   
8. The scholarship award will be presented after all commitments and obligations have been met and proof of scholarship eligibility by presenting a current tuition bill or grade report from her college/university. The entrants may receive a variety of individual prizes.
   
   
9. The selected Queen is expected to be responsive in a timely fashion to the calls and emails of the Queen Coordinator or the Fair Board members.
   
   
10. In the event that the selected Queen is unable to fulfill her duties or is dismissed and replaced by the next eligible Princess or Ambassador, she will immediately relinquish her title and all privileges and prizes awarded to her. The sash and crown are the property of the Kimberton Community Fair and will be immediately returned in the same condition as received or reimburse the Fair in the amount of $70 for replacements.

The deadline for 2024 entry is to be announced

The decision of the judge’s and/or the Kimberton Fair Committee is final.  This contest may be cancelled if we have two or less entrants.  Applicants will be contacted by the Queen Coordinator by email if this occurs.
