In the clown hierarchy, the white face is at the top of the list, the boss clown if you will; therefore it’s fitting that they get first run at a makeup contest. The white face, for those who do not know, is typically the most coordinated of the troupe in costume and makeup design, in other words of a neat appearance. The whiteface clown character has also been used for company mascots like Twin Pines Dairy had Milky the Clown, which is more of a Metro Detroit thing, and of course Ronald McDonald of the McDonald’s franchise. The whiteface clown is probably the image that first comes to mind when many people think of a clown. 
Derived from early Grecian theater, the whiteflace clown has gone from a sovereign theater character, to a more fun loving goof with a bit of respectability. As you will see through our contest, folks will lend a variety of styles to the whiteface clown.
