PROMOTERS CORNER
Welcome new and returning promoters. The enthusiasm and dedication of our promoters is the bedrock of the Entertainer of the Year pageantry system. Your tireless efforts to promote and recruit some of the best entertainers across the country is what drives our legacy.
RETURNING PROMOTERS:
To retain your local or regional preliminary contest in your state, it is important that you renew your preliminary contract and set-up your franchise fee payment
BEFORE FEBRUARY 01, 2026. (This date is subject to change)
The EOY Administrative Coordinator will reach out to each of you individually to remind you of this responsibility. FAILURE TO RENEW YOUR PRELILMINARY CONTEST, will result in the contest becoming open in your state to new promoters.
NEW PROMOTERS:
Welcome aboard on your journey as a new EOY promoter. As you plan out your preliminary contest, we know that you will have questions and face many challenges. The National Office is here to assist you in anyway that we can. The first step in your journey is to get approved as new owners, sign your contract and secure your payment.
