Sausage Queen

Finals held Saturday, March 3, 2012 from 7PM to 8:30PM

The renowned (and sometimes notorious) Sausage Queen helps lead the Bockfest Parade by carrying a symbolic tray of Bockwurst sausage. The Sausage Queen is Bockfest royalty who is anointed in the least aristocratic manner we could create: a gender-neutral pageant that has multiple preliminary rounds in local bars. Winning contestants receive prizes, but are mostly vying for the honor and prestige of being the 2012 "Little Kings" Sausage Queen.

In the weeks leading up to Bockfest, each participating venue will select its Queen contestant for the 2012 finale, held at the Hall during Bockfest. At each venue, a panel of "expert" judges (i.e. easily bribed with Little Kings and Woodford Reserve) will determine the best applicant based on the following criteria:

Personality: Good traits will include a love of bock beer, a sense of humor, and a taste for meat. The personality round will involve a series of questions posed to the contestants by the judges.
Presence: The contestant must look good carrying a sausage and have diva tendencies. The presence round will involve a very short catwalk turn while sporting a string of bockwurst.
Talent: Whatever "talent" you think a Sausage Queen should possess is good enough for us.

Rules For Competition:

There is no admission fee.
There is no need for registration prior to the night of the competition (except that the Final Judging will only be open to winning candidates from the preliminary rounds.)
Contestants should register at the venue prior to scheduled start of the competition.
The Sausage Queen will rule until the following year's Bockfest Sausage Queen Competition. It will be virtually impossible to commit any act unbecoming of a sausage queen sufficient to cause revocation of the title.

Contestant Requirements:

Contestants must be at least 21 years of age.
Contestants must have an appreciation for bock beer and sausage.
Contestants must be available to compete in the March 3rd Final Judging and available for the Bockfest Parade on March 2, 2012. The Queen must not be too much of a diva to show up to these events on time and must be capable and willing to traverse the full parade route.
Contestants must be open-minded and fun. The competition is gender neutral. It is open to all shapes, sizes, and varieties of potential Bockfest royalty.
Manner of dress is up to each contestant.

Prizes:

The person crowned Sausage Queen of each venue will have the opportunity to represent that venue in the Bockfest Parade on March 2 and at the Finals on March 3, and also recieve a $50 bar tab at that venue and gift packs from Little Kings Cream Ale and Woodford Reserve.
The person crowned Sausage Queen 2012 will receive the honor and privilege of reigning as Sausage Queen until the next year where they will lead the Bockfest Parade. They will also receive gift packs from Little Kings Cream Ale and Woodford Reserve, and an opportunity to be enshrined for eternity somewhere in the next year’s Bockfest print by Jim Effler!

At each of the participating venues, a winner will be selected to participate in the final round.
