'This weekend I returned to the NAM stage to prove to myself I didn’t give up. I could do this. I was more than the mean things that was said to me.' She responded to an open call and competed by taking part in a series of interviews, volunteer work and presentations. Scoring in the pageant is based on 'personality, confidence and communication', according to organizers. 'Braces, glasses, skin problems, varying heights, weights and appearances, are all a part of creating the special and unique individual that you are and that we want to celebrate,' the website states.
