For instance if you send your deposit in August for an October CC&BB pageant and win a $500 (or more) cash prize in a pageant in September you are still able to compete at CC&BB in October because you were eligible when you sent your deposit. All contestants who compete in the prelims are eligible to compete at the next national pageant regardless of their pageant winnings between the date of the prelim and CC&BB Nationals.
