Structure

International Ambassador operates as a fully virtual international title program designed to provide a meaningful, accessible, and straightforward experience for delegates around the world.

Delegates are responsible for submitting all required materials by the deadlines associated with their selected seasonal cycle. Failure to submit required materials by the applicable deadline may result in disqualification, forfeiture of participation rights, and loss of eligibility for selection without refund.

Upon acceptance into the program, delegates may be awarded an official International Ambassador title and recognized as representatives within the International Ambassador system.

Delegates may be required to submit materials including, but not limited to:

• Professional Headshot
• Resume of Accomplishments
• Additional materials as requested by the organization

Submitted materials will be reviewed by the International Ambassador judging panel and may be used for judging, promotional, marketing, publication, social media, and organizational purposes.

International Ambassador titleholders will receive official regalia, which may include a title sash, crown, certificate, or other recognition items as determined by the organization. All regalia is custom-produced and may require up to five (5) weeks or longer for fulfillment.

The organization reserves the right to determine the number of titles awarded, divisions recognized, countries represented, and winners selected in each cycle.

All delegates, titleholders, parents, guardians, family members, supporters, and representatives are expected to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully at all times.

• Violates these Terms and Conditions
• Engages in harassment, bullying, discrimination, intimidation, or misconduct
• Provides false or misleading information
• Damages the reputation or operations of the organization
• Fails to uphold the standards, values, or expectations of the program

Any suspension, revocation, or termination may occur with or without notice and shall not entitle the participant to any refund, reimbursement, compensation, or replacement benefits.
