Dear Contestants,

Thank you so much for taking an interest in the Miss North Carolina Entertainer Of The Year contest. I
welcome you with all of my heart and hope that your experience with the Miss North Carolina Entertainer Of The
Year contest is one you will cherish for a long time to come.

It has taken a lot of hard work and a lot of my own money to bring this 2011 prelim for Entertainer Of The
year back to North Carolina. I could not have done this without the help of my co-producer William Millikan, my
current reigning Anjelica Dust, Kent Woofter, Vanessa Demornay, Paisley Parque, Orlando Chanel, dear sweet
Eddie From Nationals and, of course, my Mom and my Dad who have long supported me in all of my endeavors.

Since this is only the second year for the return of Entertainer Of The Year’s presence in North Carolina,
let me tell you a little about the system. The Entertainer of the Year Pageant is a national system "Dedicated to the
betterment of Diverse Cultures." This pageant is not a beauty pageant but a celebration of creativity, individuality,
and passion for the art of entertainment. This is a pageant where unique creativity is highly prized and rewarded.

In 2011 Miss National Entertainer of the Year will be celebrating its 22nd year as a prominent, national
pageant system. This is the perfect year to join the EOY family as a contestant, sponsor, or preliminary promoter
because all eyes will be on the Brown Theater in Louisville, Kentucky to see which contestants will boldly take this
unique pageant system into its third decade.

I am looking for a contestant with a strong motivation to continue selling preliminaries for Miss North
Carolina Entertainer Of The Year and who will help turn this pageant into a true state wide extravaganza. I am
looking for a hard working contestant who will actively call regional bars and promoters to ask them if they will
purchase prelims for Miss North Carolina Entertainer of the Year 2012 and help this statewide system to grow. I
am looking for a constant who will be hands on with the production and promotion of Miss North Carolina
Entertainer Of The Year 2012.

I am also looking for a contestant who will work hard to put forth her very best foot at Nationals in
Louisville Kentucky. She must remember that she represents not just North Carolina EOY but all of North Carolina.
The winner of this pageant must behave both professionally and as the true role model she is.

Lastly, I am looking for a contestant who is creative, unique, and who truly thinks outside of the box. I
want to reward those performers who dare to be different and who believe entertainment is a true form of art.

I have spent a lot of money and time to create this pageant because I believe so strongly in our drag
community. I have done this so I can give a fellow artist the opportunity to be seen on a national stage. This is an
opportunity they otherwise might not have, and I want to play a small part in helping make their dreams come
true.

Drag performers have truly inspired me with their courage and talents. I hope to thank them by
continuing to provide this opportunity that previously did not exist in North Carolina.

-- David Bryant
