Can my child wear a costume?

Yes, your child may wear a costume. However, the costume will not be a factor in judging.

How are the scores determined?

A panel of judges, selected by the Honolulu Chinese Jaycees, will provide scores for each child. Each child is judged according to the following categories: Physical Appearance, Healthiness, and Personality. Each category is rated on a 20‐point scale, from "fair" to "excellent".

Past judges have included community leaders and pediatricians. Then, a team of independent accountants will calculate the judging sheets for each child to determine the average score.

Please note that the scoring is based on the personal opinions of the judging panel and does not represent the opinion of the Honolulu Chinese Jaycees.

When will the finalists be announced?

Parents/guardians of the 25 finalists will be contacted by the Honolulu Chinese Jaycees using the information provided on the registration form, on TBA
