My aunt net got me this light up writing board for Christmas so mom fixed it up in my room with my greatest accomplishment to date on it! I’m so proud of it! Had to share!

❤️ A MESSAGE FROM MY HEART AS WE PREPARE FOR STATE FINALS

As we prepare for one of the biggest events of our year, I want to take a moment to remind everyone what AmeriFest stands for, what we believe in, and what I will always stand behind.

AmeriFest was built on inclusion, love, acceptance, and opportunity for EVERYONE.

For nearly three decades, my mission has been to create something that goes far beyond crowns, sashes, and titles. I want every child, young adult, and woman who walks through our doors to feel welcomed, valued, respected, and celebrated.

And with that comes something I feel very strongly about.

There is absolutely no place for bullying, discrimination, poor sportsmanship, or negativity within AmeriFest.

That includes behavior at our events, conversations behind the scenes, and remarks made on social media.

We do not have to look alike, think alike, come from the same backgrounds, or share the same opinions to treat one another with kindness and respect.

We love and welcome everyone. Period.

I stand behind our contestants, our families, our parents, our directors, and our staff. Every single one deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

If we witness bullying, harassment, discrimination, or unsportsmanlike behavior directed toward another contestant or family, whether it comes from a contestant, parent, or accompanying family member, we will address it immediately and take appropriate action.

I will never expect everyone to agree with every decision, every score, or every outcome. That’s part of competition. But there is a tremendous difference between disappointment and disrespect.

You can be disappointed and still be gracious.

You can cheer for your own child without tearing down someone else’s.

You can want to win and still celebrate the person standing beside you.

A crown should never mean more than someone’s character.

As we head into State Finals, I want our families to remember that the memories we create, the friendships we build, and the example we set for the next generation are worth so much more than any title.

To the families who have supported this mission, who lift others up, who clap for every contestant, and who understand that pageantry can be a beautiful experience regardless of the outcome — THANK YOU.

You are the heart of AmeriFest.

I will always work to make AmeriFest a place where people feel safe, included, encouraged, and proud to belong.

We celebrate people. We encourage kindness. We welcome differences. And we stand together.

Because at the end of the day, it’s more than just a pageant. ❤️

With love and appreciation,

Dianne Turner
National Director | AmeriFest Pageants
