About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the pageant bond actually covers

Georgia's Beauty Pageants article (O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-830 through 10-1-838) protects people who pay to enter a pageant. A beauty pageant operator must either maintain a $10,000 surety bond (or cash bond) payable to the Governor, or place all contestants' fees in an escrow account that cannot be touched until the pageant is over.

The bond runs for the benefit of any person who paid an entry fee and is conditioned to pay losses, damages, and expenses sustained by reason of any violation of the title — for example, an operator who cancels a pageant and keeps the entry fees.

The statutory amount is $10,000. Enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — and if you were asked for a different amount, the field is editable.

O.C.G.A. § 10-1-832 (Beauty Pageants)O.C.G.A. § 10-1-832, within the Beauty Pageants article (O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-830 through 10-1-838), requires each beauty pageant operator to maintain a $10,000 surety bond or cash bond payable to the Governor for the use and benefit of any person who paid an entry fee, conditioned to pay all losses, damages, and expenses sustained by reason of any violation of the title. As an alternative, an operator may escrow all contestants' fees until the pageant concludes.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Georgia beauty pageant bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The statutory amount is $10,000, so the premium at that amount is $300. Enter a different figure if you were asked for one and the quote updates.
Why does Georgia require it? +
Under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-832, it protects people who pay to enter a pageant. The bond is payable to the Governor for their benefit, so if an operator violates the law — for instance, cancels and keeps the fees — entrants have recourse.
Can I escrow fees instead? +
Yes. The statute lets an operator either post the $10,000 bond or place all contestants' fees in an escrow account that cannot be accessed until the pageant is over. A surety bond is usually cheaper than tying up cash in escrow.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the pageant bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It pays losses, damages, and expenses an entrant sustains from a violation of the beauty pageants law. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
