Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Yes, it will help processing if you bring your ticketed proof of registration to the event.

Can parents walk their children down the runway?

Yes, because this is an infant/toddler competition, we understand that parents will be needed in some cases to help their children down the runway or onto the stage. However, we will leave that up to the parents' discretion. If the child would like to and is able to safely walk across the stage then we encourage them to do so. Please, no parent costumes.
