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 — pricing starts from $100, and no credit check up to $100,000 — and if you were asked for a different amount, the field is editable.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
Issued on the spot. Most applications approve instantly and the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. No credit check up to $100,000.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
