Standing in line, ready to be compared with each other.
The most beautiful, the strongest, the most attractive, the most feminine, the most charming, the most masculine, young and old alike put their physical assets in a short-lived jury's hands.
In France, beauty contests are technically unsuitable for children under 18, but it does not preclude them to be held, and the youngest candidates are two years old.
