Who Needs a Beauty Pageant Bond? 

The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) requires this bond as part of the registration process for most beauty pageant operators in the state. There are some exemptions for religious, educational and non-profit organizations. 

Once you have been organizing and hosting beauty pageants for 25 years or more, you become exempt from the registration and bonding requirements.

How Does an Arkansas Beauty Pageant Bond Work? 

A beauty pageant bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the beauty pageant operator(s) filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Department of Finance and Administration requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Arkansas Code, 17–21–202. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your beauty pageant bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
