I’m incredibly honored to be recognized as a 2026 Top 5 Director in Texas by the Bombyhead Director of the Year Awards. The uniqueness of this award has not gone unnoticed. You can’t buy or pay for votes. Each person could only vote once. Any gaming of the system would cause a director to be disqualified. For a director from a small 3 year old pageant to be selected and compete with so many bigger more established systems is EPIC!
Thank you to everyone who nominated, supported, and believed in not only in me as a director but in the dream, the vision that is Emissary Pageants International Congress. This recognition means so much to me and every titleholder who has worn the EPIC banner because it reflects the spirit, and strength of every person who has contributed to this amazing adventure. I’m grateful for the opportunity to build programs that teach leadership in a way that serves communities nationwide. Beyond the crowns the EPIC impact is transforming lives and communities.
If you haven’t experienced this transformative pageant there is no time like the present to join us for our 4th season. To learn more about EPIC visit us at www.epicpageants.com
