Private Judge's Interview
25% of the overall score is the Private Judge's Interview. This stage of the competition is held prior to the stage
competition and is an opportunity for the judges to ask questions of the contestants. These questions could
include political issues, personal opinions, or questions about information the contestant provide on their
Judge's Biography. Judges are instructed to score according to the quality of answers, the confidence and
articulation of the delivery, and the overall appearance of the interviewee. The interview lasts 4 minutes and is
panel-styled, with the contestants sitting in front of all 5 judges at once. This style of interview is called "panel" or
"press conference". A professional skirt-suit is recommended.
