What Happens If You Win (and What Happens If You Don’t)
Let’s talk about the part everyone thinks about—but rarely talks about openly.
Pin-up contests come with big feelings. Winning feels electric. Not winning can feel tender. Both deserve honesty, respect, and care.
Here’s what to expect on either side of the results—because no one should leave a stage feeling unsure of where they stand.
If You Win 🎉
First of all—congratulations. Winning is a celebration of your preparation, presence, and performance on that day, on that stage.
If you receive a title, you can expect:
Clear communication about your title, prizing, and any next steps
Guidance on how to represent the title publicly and professionally
Support in sharing your win (yes, we want to hype you up)
Respect for your time, boundaries, and availability
Winning doesn’t mean instant pressure or obligation. It means you had a strong showing, and we’re excited to celebrate that moment with you.
You are allowed to feel proud. Fully. Loudly. Softly. However it lands.
If You Don’t Win 💖
Not winning is not a failure.
It’s not a reflection of your worth.
And it’s definitely not a sign that you “missed something obvious.”
Here’s what it does mean:
On this specific day, with this specific lineup, the scores landed where they did
The judges made decisions based on the rubric, the moment, and the flow of the show
Your presence still mattered, even without a title attached
Every contestant selected for the stage earned their place. Period.
You are still part of the event. You are still valued. And your experience doesn’t disappear just because your name wasn’t called.
Feedback, Transparency & Growth
If you’d like your scores or feedback, you’re welcome to ask. We believe in transparency and growth—not mystery or silence.
Feedback is offered with care and intention, and our goal is always for you to leave feeling informed, respected, and proud of showing up.
You’ll also receive a post-event feedback form, because this isn’t a one-way street. Your experience helps shape what we build next.
Sports-womanship Matters (A Gentle But Important Note)
How we handle wins and losses matters.
We expect:
Grace in celebration
Grace in disappointment
Respect for fellow contestants, judges, and organizers
No public or private tearing down of others
Pin up is community before competition. Always.
The Bottom Line
Winning is a moment.
Participating is an experience.
Showing up is powerful—no matter the outcome.
Whether you walk away with a crown or just a deeper sense of confidence, you were part of something intentional, supportive, and built with care.
And that? That counts.
— Kiki Lou 💋
What Happens After You’re Selected
You got the email. You’re in. Cue the happy dance 💃
Now let’s talk about what happens next—so you can move from excitement to confidence without guessing.
Being selected for a contest is just the beginning of the experience. Clear onboarding, expectations, and communication help make sure the weekend runs smoothly for everyone. That’s why we’ve built a structured process that supports you from the moment you’re accepted through well after the final walk.
Here’s what you can expect once you receive that “you’re selected” message.
Step One: Confirmation & Paperwork
Once registration closes and selections are finalized, you’ll receive a confirmation email welcoming you officially into the lineup.
You’ll be asked to:
Confirm your spot by a set deadline
Complete any remaining paperwork or waivers
Review key dates, schedules, and expectations
You’ll also receive our Anti-Bullying & Inclusion Policy, because the culture of the event matters just as much as the stage itself. This step locks in the lineup and sets the tone early: professional, respectful, and community-first.
Step Two: The Contestant Guide (The Info Drop)
About 2–3 weeks before the event, you’ll receive a detailed Contestant Guide—your main planning resource.
This includes:
Event schedule and call times
Stage expectations and show flow
Appearance requirements and participation details
Backstage logistics and access information
Judging categories and our simplified rubric:
Queen (1st Place)
Dame (2nd Place)
Doll (3rd Place)
Miss Gracious (Top Fundraiser – exclusive to Drumheller)
Code of conduct reminders
Optional graphics and social media tips to help you share your spotlight moment
Clear contact information if questions come up
No guessing. No scrambling. Just clarity.
Step Three: Prep, Not Panic
Once you have the full picture, this is your time to plan confidently.
You don’t need to be perfect. You do need to be prepared.
This is when you’ll:
Finalize outfits and backup options
Confirm travel and accommodations
Build your emergency kit
Ask questions early (we genuinely love that)
Preparation makes the entire experience calmer and more enjoyable—for you and everyone around you.
Step Four: Show Up & Shine
During the event, your job is refreshingly simple:
Be present
Be kind
Be professional
Be yourself
We’ll handle schedules, stage flow, and behind-the-scenes logistics so you can focus on enjoying the moment and connecting with the experience you’ve worked toward.
Step Five: After the Stage Lights
After the contest wraps:
Winners will receive follow-up details as needed
Photos and content will be shared according to partner timelines
You’re encouraged to celebrate, connect, and reflect
Win or not, being part of the lineup means you showed up—and that matters.
If you’d like your scores or feedback, just ask. We’re committed to transparency, growth, and helping you feel proud—not puzzled—about your results. We’ll also send out a post-event feedback form, because your experience helps us continue to improve.
The Bottom Line
Being selected isn’t about pressure. It’s about participation in something that’s been built with care.
You’re not expected to know everything on day one. That’s what the process is for.

How to Decide If a Contest Is the Right Fit for You
Here’s something we don’t say out loud enough in the pin-up world:
You don’t have to do every contest.
You don’t have to do this contest.
And choosing not to apply can be just as powerful as stepping on stage.
This blog isn’t here to talk you into anything. It’s here to help you make a decision that feels aligned, confident, and good in your body—not pressured, rushed, or resentful.
Start With the Season You’re In
Every pin-up has seasons. Some are bold and sparkly and ready to be seen everywhere. Others are quieter—focused on healing, rebuilding, learning, or just surviving real life.
Ask yourself:
Do I have the time and energy for a multi-day public event?
Am I excited by the commitment—or already exhausted thinking about it?
Does this feel like a stretch in a good way, or stress in a bad way?
There is no wrong season. Just honest ones.
Look at Alignment, Not FOMO
A contest being popular doesn’t mean it’s right for you.
Think about:
Does the vibe match my style and personality?
Do the values of this event feel aligned with mine?
Would I feel proud to be associated with this stage, win or lose?
If the answer is “ehhh maybe?”—listen to that.
Be Real About Budget & Logistics
Confidence grows when you’re not quietly panicking about money or time off.
Ask yourself:
Can I comfortably afford this without resentment?
Do I have the support I need (travel, childcare, rides, rest)?
Will I be able to show up present and grounded?
If the answer is no right now, that doesn’t mean never. It just means not yet.
Ask What You Want Out of the Experience
Not every contest serves the same purpose.
Are you looking for:
Stage experience?
Community connection?
A personal challenge?
Visibility or professional growth?
Just a damn good weekend in heels?
Knowing your “why” makes choosing your “where” much easier.
Remember: A Contest Is Not a Measure of Worth
You don’t become more valid by being selected.
You don’t become less valid by sitting one out.
You don’t owe anyone your participation.
Pin up is not a ladder—it’s a landscape. There are many paths, many stages, and many ways to belong.
The Bottom Line
The right contest should feel exciting, supportive, and aligned—not like something you have to survive.
If this one feels like a “yes,” amazing.
If it feels like a “not right now,” that’s wisdom—not weakness.
Choose the stages that honor who you are today.

What’s Expected of Contestants (On Stage, Backstage, and Everywhere in Between)
Pin up contests are about confidence, creativity, and community—but they’re also public, professional events. Clear expectations help everyone feel safe, respected, and supported from load-in to final photos.
This isn’t about being rigid. It’s about creating a space where people can shine without unnecessary stress or drama.
Professionalism Is the Baseline
Pin up contests are usually a multi-day, public-facing event. Contestants are expected to:
Be on time for scheduled appearances, rehearsals, and stage calls
Follow event schedules and instructions
Represent the contest, partners, and community respectfully
Understand that you are visible—to the public, media, and future opportunities
You don’t have to be perfect. You do need to be prepared.
Dressing Room & Backstage Etiquette
Backstage should feel supportive, calm, and safe.
That means:
No gossip, bullying, or trash talk—especially about other contestants
Respecting shared space and personal boundaries
Handling wins and losses with grace
Remembering that everyone is showing up vulnerable
Not winning is not a failure. Making the space unsafe is.
Social Media & Public Conduct
Your online presence matters before, during, and after the event.
Contestants are expected to:
Refrain from public shaming or negative commentary
Avoid stirring conflict online or behind the scenes
Respect the privacy of fellow contestants, judges, and staff
Share excitement without tearing others down
We can hype ourselves without hurting each other.
Working With Judges, Photographers & Partners
Judges and partners are here to support the event—not to be pressured, cornered, or influenced.
Please:
Respect boundaries and instructions
Avoid lobbying or seeking feedback during the event
Treat all partners with courtesy and gratitude
Understand that many contribute their time and talent generously
Professional behaviour builds reputation—yours and the community’s.
Accountability & Care
If issues arise, they should be brought to the organizer—not handled through gossip or group chats. Clear communication helps problems get resolved quickly and fairly.
We take community care seriously, and that includes addressing concerns with respect and discretion.
The Bottom Line
This contest exists to celebrate pin-up culture in a way that feels empowering, joyful, and safe.
The expectation isn’t perfection.
It’s kindness.
It’s accountability.
It’s showing up like the powerful, grown-up humans we know you are.

How to Decide If a Contest Is the Right Fit for You
(because choosing your stage wisely is part of the glow-up)

What Costs Should I Expect as a Contestant?
Let’s talk logistics—with love.
Pin-up contests are fun, empowering, and sparkly… but they’re also a real commitment. Knowing what to expect financially before you apply helps you decide if a contest is the right fit for you right now—and that’s a good thing.
This isn’t about gatekeeping. It’s about being honest so everyone can show up confidently and prepared.
The Application Fee
This is your first (and smallest) cost. It covers application processing and the behind-the-scenes work required to run a professional contest. It does not guarantee selection or placement.
If you’ve already read Blog #1, you know exactly where this goes—no mystery, no drama.
Travel & Accommodations
World of Wheels is a multi-day event. That means contestants should plan for:
Travel to and from the event
Hotel or accommodations if you’re coming from out of town
Meals and incidental expenses over several days
If travel or time off work feels stressful right now, that’s valuable information—not a failure.
Wardrobe & Styling
Pin-up doesn’t require a shopping spree, but there may be costs depending on what you already own:
Outfits (vintage, repro, or styled looks)
Shoes and accessories
Hosiery (bring backups—trust me)
Hair and makeup products or professional services (optional, not required)
Many contestants reuse pieces, borrow, thrift, or build looks over time. There is no expectation to go broke for a stage moment.
Time Commitment
This one matters just as much as money.
World of Wheels is a three-day public event, which means:
Being present and engaged throughout the weekend
Participating in scheduled appearances
Representing the event and community professionally
Time is a cost—and it deserves to be respected.
Optional Extras
Some contestants choose to invest in:
Professional photos
Additional accessories or styling upgrades
Prints, promo materials, or personal branding elements
These are optional, not required.
Choosing the Right Stage for You
Here’s the most important part:
Not every contest is meant to fit every season of your life.
If you’re budgeting, rebuilding, juggling work or family, or simply not ready for a multi-day commitment—that’s okay. Pin-up is not a race, and no single contest defines your place in the community.
The right event should feel exciting—not stressful.
The Bottom Line
A pin-up contest is an experience, not just a performance. Knowing the costs upfront allows you to say yes with confidence—or to wait for a moment that feels better aligned.
Both choices are valid. Both are respected.

Why We’re Doing World of Wheels a Little Differently This Year
If you’ve been around the pin-up scene for a while, you know one thing to be true: when events evolve, it’s usually because someone cared enough to make them better.
World of Wheels 2026 is no exception.
This year, we’re making a few intentional changes—not to fix what was broken, but to elevate what already works and create a better experience for everyone involved: contestants, judges, photographers, partners, and the audience.
A More Curated Experience
Rather than packing as many contestants onto the stage as possible, we’re focusing on quality, flow, and show experience. A smaller, carefully selected lineup allows for:
Better pacing on stage
More visibility for each contestant
A calmer, more supportive backstage environment
A show that feels polished, not rushed
Fewer contestants doesn’t mean fewer opportunities—it means each moment actually gets to shine.
Clear Expectations From Day One
World of Wheels is a multi-day, public, professional event, and we’re being upfront about what that means. From availability requirements to codes of conduct, expectations are clearly laid out so everyone knows exactly what they’re signing up for.
Transparency upfront creates confidence later—and eliminates unnecessary stress on all sides.
A Selection Process Built for Fairness
We’ve introduced a selection model that balances professional curation and equal opportunity. By combining eligibility screening, judges’ choice selections, and a curated lottery, we’re creating a process that is:
Transparent
Fair
Free from favouritism
Welcoming to both new and returning contestants
This approach reflects the values we want this event to stand for.
More Respect for the Humans Behind the Scenes
This year also includes clearer boundaries and better systems—for organizers, partners, and volunteers. Great events don’t rely on burnout and last-minute scrambling; they rely on planning, structure, and mutual respect.
Raising the standard behind the scenes improves the experience on stage.
Community First, Always
At its core, World of Wheels Miss Pin Up Contest is about celebrating pin-up culture in a way that feels inclusive, exciting, and grounded in community. These changes are about protecting that spirit—so the event remains a space where people feel supported, not overwhelmed.
Change doesn’t mean cold.
Structure doesn’t mean exclusion.
And professionalism doesn’t mean losing the fun.
It means creating something that lasts.
World of Wheels 2026 is still bold, still sparkly, still full of personality—just with a little more intention, clarity, and care woven into every layer.
And honestly?
We think that’s worth doing right.
— Kiki Lou 💋
How We Judge Our Contests (And Why We Changed Everything)
Let’s talk about judging—because how a contest is judged matters just as much as who walks away with the crown.
This year, we made a very intentional shift in how all True North Pin Up contests are judged. Not for drama. Not for optics. But because fair, structured judging creates better experiences for everyone involved.
Blind Judging (With One Exception That Makes Sense)
Our contests are judged using a blind judging system with one necessary identifier:
judges see stage names only.
That’s it.
Judges do not see:
Legal names
Social media accounts or follower counts
Personal history
Past placements or titles
They watch the show and score what happens on stage, in real time, based on a clearly defined rubric.
Yes—just like teachers do in school.
Same assignment. Same criteria. Same scoring system.
Who Our Judges Are
Our judging panels are made up of:
Women active in the pin-up scene
Past winners
Veteran pin-ups
Empowering women who understand performance, confidence, and presentation
What you won’t find on our panels:
Random car guys
People judging based on attraction or personal preference
Anyone unfamiliar with pin-up culture, consent, or community standards
This is a pin up contest. It’s judged by people who respect the art form and the humans behind it.
A Clear Rubric = No Guessing
Every judge uses the same rubric, broken into clearly defined categories:
Overall look and styling
Stage presence and confidence
Posing and expression
Creativity and theme adherence
Each category has specific point ranges and descriptors. Judges aren’t “vibing it out”—they’re assessing observable performance against shared criteria.
No moving goalposts. No gut feelings disguised as scoring.
The Tech Keeps It Clean
Judging is completed through a Google Form that:
Records scores independently
Automatically calculates totals
Feeds into a spreadsheet
Tallies results without discussion or adjustment
There are:
No judge conversations during scoring
No comparing notes
No influence from other judges
Once scores are submitted, they stand.
Why We Do It This Way
This system:
Removes bias
Protects contestants
Protects judges
Protects the integrity of the contest
It ensures that every contestant is evaluated fairly, equitably, and consistently—based on performance, not personality or popularity.
The Bottom Line
We don’t crown winners based on who someone knows, how loud their cheering section is, or who fits someone else’s idea of “perfect.”
We crown winners the same way educators grade work:
Clear criteria
Equal conditions
Consistent evaluation
No bias.
No backroom chatter.
No greasy nonsense.
Just fair, structured judging—done with intention and respect.
— Kiki Lou 💋
So… What Does My Contest Application Fee Go To?
Great question. I’m always here for curiosity over assumptions.
Pin up contests don’t magically appear when someone snaps their fingers and yells “heels!” They’re built—carefully, intentionally, and usually months before anyone ever hits the stage. The application fee helps support the many moving parts that make the experience smooth, safe, and actually fun.
And yes—we are lucky to work with some truly incredible partners who generously donate time, talent, and sparkle because they believe in this community. Their support is huge, deeply appreciated, and part of what makes these events special. That said, donated time doesn’t replace the real infrastructure required to make the contest happen.
Here’s where the application fee comes in.
The Bones of the Event
(The unglamorous stuff that makes the glamorous stuff possible)
Booth and show fees (paid upfront, often months in advance)
Event insurance and compliance requirements
Stage space, layout requirements, and show integration
Backdrops, signage, banners, and structural setup
Equipment transport, storage, setup, and teardowne.
The Admin Fairy (Hi, It’s Me)
(Because chaos is not cute)
Application platform and processing fees
Form creation, waivers, releases, and documentation
Reviewing applications thoughtfully and fairly
Contestant communication and scheduling
Coordination with venues, judges, photographers, and partners
Answering all the questions (yes, even the “just one quick thing” ones)
The Sparkle ✨
(The part everyone sees—and expects to be done right)
Crowns, sashes, awards, and prizes
Sponsor and partner fulfillment
Stage flow, presentation, and contestant experience
Making sure winners don’t feel like an afterthought
Making It Look Damn Good
(Because presentation matters)
Graphic design and branding assets
Promotional materials and social content
Printed materials and signage
Maintaining a polished, professional visual standard
Safety, Standards & Good Vibes Only
(The invisible work that protects the community)
Clear rules, expectations, and judging criteria
Codes of conduct and anti-bullying standards
Application vetting to protect participants
Proactive communication to keep backstage energy supportive
Managing issues so contestants don’t have to
Community & Partner Support
(The magic humans who help make this shine)
Working with incredible partners who generously donate time and talent
Coordinating schedules, expectations, and deliverables
Ensuring partner contributions are respected, organized, and showcased properly
What the Fee Is (and Isn’t)
The application fee is not a guarantee of selection or placement. It’s not a pay-to-win model. It’s a small contribution toward keeping the event organized, professional, and sustainable—especially for independent, community-led contests.
If the fee isn’t the right fit, that’s okay. Not every event is for every person, and there’s no pressure to participate.
For those who do apply, the fee helps ensure the stage you step onto exists because a whole lot of people—partners, organizers, and supporters—showed up and built it with care.
Because great events don’t just happen.
They’re planned, supported, and created with heart.
— Kiki Lou 💋

A New Chapter for True North: Listening, Growing, and Rebuilding Together
Over the past week, I’ve done a lot of listening. I’ve heard your voices—in conversations, in messages, and in moments of vulnerability. I’ve sat with your stories, your feedback, your frustrations, and your hopes. And I want you to know: I see you. I hear you. And I’m doing the work.
True North Pin Up has never just been about the stage. It’s about the community behind it. The friendships. The visibility. The joy. The safety. And yes—the accountability too.
That’s why I’m making changes. Not just promises. Not just posts. But tangible, structural change.
Here’s what I’m committing to:
1. Clearer Communication
Our new 5-Step Communication Plan will ensure every contestant knows what to expect—from welcome emails to judging rubrics, photo bookings, timelines, and final reminders. You won’t be left wondering. You’ll be informed and empowered.
2. Collaboration & Support
I’m no longer doing it alone. I’ve partnered with passionate leaders like Janelle of Miss Friend Photography and Rose Chantel of AB Charity Collaborations to create better systems and more inclusive practices. We’re working together to ensure no detail is missed.
3. Holding Creatives Accountable
A brand-new Media Code of Conduct is now in place to ensure every photographer and content creator upholds the same values we expect from our contestants: respect, fairness, and consent. This applies to everyone behind the lens.
4. Respecting the Official Photographer
We’re honouring the creatives who invest in our events. Janelle of Miss Friend Photography—who pays to be there and brings her time and talent—is our official event photographer. A booking system is now in place, and all other photographers must apply, be approved, and follow the code of conduct.
5. Feedback & Transparency
We’ve launched a detailed feedback form so everyone can share their experience—the good, the hard, and the honest. This will shape how we move forward, together.
6. Non-Competitive Connection Events
We are committed to creating more spaces for connection without competition. This includes casual meet-ups, styled photo sessions, and collaborative experiences that prioritize community, creativity, and friendship—no scores, no pressure, just pure joy.
7. Anti-Bullying & Respect Policy Reinforcement
We’ve revisited and reinforced our Anti-Bullying & Abuse Policy to reflect our zero-tolerance stance on gossip, exclusion, and mistreatment in all its forms—online or in-person. Everyone participating in True North events agrees to uphold a culture of kindness, consent, and inclusivity. We are building a space where all bodies, stories, and identities are respected, and everyone feels safe to shine.
This is my promise to you:
To continue listening.
To take action rooted in kindness, not ego.
To lead with integrity, vulnerability, and growth.
I’m here to make sure True North is not just about pin-up culture—but about real culture change.
Thank you for holding space. Thank you for showing up. And thank you for walking this journey with me.
With all my heart,
Kiki Lou
Editor in Chic, True North Pin Up Magazine
We Heard You: Here’s How We’re Communicating Better at True North
At True North Pin Up, we believe information is empowerment—and that confidence starts way before you hit the stage.
After reflecting on recent events, listening to community feedback, and sitting with some hard (but important) truths, we knew it was time to do better. That’s why we’re rolling out a brand-new Contestant Communication Plan designed to make your experience clearer, kinder, and more empowering from start to finish.

This is the new standard. And it’s built for you. 💕
With love and organization magic,
Kiki Lou
