at-large contestant is a
contestant who did not go through a preliminary competition to receive
her title. She is selected through an application process and is
responsible for all fees and duties required of a titleholder. The
at-large title carries
the same amount of clout as a contestant that wins her title in a preliminary
competition. Everyone has identical crowns and banners.
