Contestants will compete in four phases of competition at the pageant, including an interview, talent competition, swimsuit wear and evening wear. During the competition, each contestant will also discuss her chosen platform, a social or community issue of concern to herself and our society at large. By the end of the evening, one young woman will be crowned Miss Barton County and another will be crowned Miss Golden Belt. 

After being crowned the two ladies will travel to Pratt, Kansas, in June to compete for the Miss Kansas title. More scholarships will be up for grabs for these young women at this pageant as well.
