We offer State, Regional and National Directorship. Contact our office for additional information regarding license fees
The fees are renewable each year 30 days prior to the international competition. 


Do I have to have previous pageant directorship experience to be a director? 
No. STAR has a Director's Training Program that you can follow. As you grow and learn, you have the ability to advance to the next level of directorship, as it comes available or as your upper level director sees fit or feels you are ready for the next level. 


Can I be a state director in a state in which I do not live? 
Yes. However, we feel it is best to direct in a state in which you live. But when that state is not available, we will work with you to find a state in which you may have contacts or may be close to geographically. 

Can anyone be a director? 

Yes, but subject to approval and must follow guideline setforth by Star International Model Organization.

What can I do to bring in money as a director?
Contestants will pay fees to participate in a contest. You will be able to charge admission, as well as, and may even sell concessions and merchandise (as a venue permits) to earn extra money at your event. The profit made after your event expenses are yours to keep.  Star International Model only charges francise fees and entry fees for your delegates to the international competition.

What expenses am I responsible for? 
As an Independent Director for STAR, you are responsible for paying for your venue, prizes, and other related expenses for an event.  You can pay for these items from the fees and other monies you collect by holding your event. You are responsible for your own taxes-income and expenses.

How much money does it take to start as a director? 
As a director you must pay your franchise fee before becoming an offical director with rights to use our registerd name and trademark.  If you are a sub-licensee to a national director, you may consider partnering with your national director to split expenses and profit. Please contact her/him for more information.  Fees are discussed once application is approved.

How much time do I have to put into my directorship? 
Just like with any business, to be successful you have to take it seriously. Most love this business because they can do most of their recruiting and manage their business on line through social media sites, email, and websites. Other women and men who work outside of the home can also be directors as they can work their business on their own time schedule and can utilize the contacts they already have with people they work with or network with on a daily basis.

How much paperwork is involved in being a director? 
98% of all paperwork is actually done on line. Contestant applications and instructions are completed on the website or Facebook pages as files. This helps to keep our costs down. Most people have a Facebook page or email. Electronic contact is the best form of communication in this technologically driven world.  If you can operate a computer, you will have all the tools you'll need right at your fingertips. 

Do I have to go somewhere for training? 
As the need arises, we will have training opportunities throughout the year so that we may help all of our directors be the best they can be. We will occasionally have director conference calls to update information and changes within our organization. There is also a private social media page that a lot of training materials are on for you to view at your convenience, once approved as a director.

What do I need to do to become a director? 
Fill out the application on our website and submit it. Someone will contact you shortly to speak with you about becoming a director and answer your questions! Upon speaking with you, a Director will determine your eligibility. Anyone applying for a directorship should remember that it takes self-motivation and dedication to the directorship and must take this step very seriously.  We want to ensure that all of our contestants have a great experience and that their director will be with them every step of the way!

We hope you will join our team and inspire others to be a leader and help them achieve their goals and dreams!
