CONTEST HASHTAG: #dallastwirlfest2017
For this event, we strongly encourage our Texas Twirlers to utilize the hashtag #dallastwirlfest2017 when posting photos of this competition on social media.

Hashtag your photo this year and you might just see your picture in the contest follow up blog post!
Highlight Event: A highlighted event of this competition is the Mother/Daughter Duet category where mothers and their daughters compete in a duet routine for the judges. Since this contest is directed by a mother & daughter, it is a fitting contest for other mother & daughter pairs show off their talents!
Unique Feature: The awards are beautiful and PINK! Nice sized trophies, unique first place pageant awards, and beautiful tiaras are awarded. You also can't forget the special ratings trophies and the vintage medals awarded to runners up.
