New scoring maximums January 3, 2011 The board discussed at length the focus participants should have towards perfecting their act, and we decided to change the maximum number of points in the categories to more reflect our thoughts on their importance. For 2011, the maximum points for talent are now 25, stage presence has been reduced to 3 points, and appropriate appearance has lowered to 2 points. We hope this will help to de-emphasize the implied importance of overly elaborate or expensive make-up / hair / costume / props. We want to instead focus on the pure talent of the children who participate.

Description of judging categories modified January 1 , 2010 The three categories that will be judged during both preliminary and final competitions are Talent (20 points), Stage Presence (5 points), and Appropriate Appearance (5 points). The modified name of the third judging category was changed to relay the focus on appropriate dress/appearance the judges are asked to judge.
