Chapter01
The way pageants used to be run.
Here's the same job, two ways: with paper packets, group texts, and a rented projector — versus with Bombyhead.
Registration
The old way
Google Forms, PDF packets, and emailed Word docs that scare contestants away before they finish.
With Bombyhead
One mobile-friendly link. Auto-calculates fees, only shows divisions a contestant qualifies for, collects everything in one pass.
Payments
The old way
Chasing Venmo requests. Waiting on checks in the mail.
With Bombyhead
Stripe collects fees instantly. Money lands in your account the same day.
Photos & files
The old way
Headshots scattered across email attachments and Dropbox links.
With Bombyhead
Contestants upload once. Photos stay organized and carry over to next year's pageant.
Judging
The old way
Stacks of paper scoresheets, calculators, and 3 a.m. tabulation.
With Bombyhead
Judges score on phones or laptops. Results appear instantly, with a full audit trail.
Fundraising
The old way
Bake sales, raffle tickets, and chasing reluctant sponsors.
With Bombyhead
Turn on People's Choice voting. Directors typically raise $2k–$15k extra per pageant.
Next year
The old way
Rebuilding everything from scratch every season.
With Bombyhead
Clone last year's pageant in one click — divisions, pricing, deadlines, colors.

Chapter04
From the field — directors who run it.
Two unprompted notes from directors who've been on Bombyhead long enough to remember the alternative.
My favorite Bombyhead feature is everything is in one place. I don't need multiple programs and spreadsheets. I love that I can see all my contestants in one place.
Tiffany RedmonKentucky Bluegrass Prelim Director
I love love love that BombyHead handles all my pageant needs and saves me SOOOO much time. I have more time to help develop my pageant and have more time with my family.

Chapter05
What the best-run pageants don't think about anymore.
Six things Bombyhead handles so you don't have to.
ii.
Stripe payments, instant deposits.
Entry fees flow straight into your Stripe account. No checks to chase, no Venmo screenshots to reconcile.
iii.
Live judging & tabulation.
Judges score on phones, tablets, or laptops. Tabulation runs in real time with a full audit trail, and scoresheets email out at the press of a button.
iv.
People's Choice voting.
Built-in fundraising with a real-time leaderboard, text reminders, and an upsell engine. Directors typically raise $2k–$15k per pageant. You keep 75%.
v.
Duplicate last year, one click.
Clone everything — divisions, pricing, deadlines, colors, optional categories. Setup drops from days to minutes.
vi.
Photo library & reuse.
Once a contestant uploads a headshot, it's saved to their library. Next year, or in their next Bombyhead pageant, it's already there.
