Way to Smile!
There is a perfect way to smile for the judges. This pageant smile begins with by working your smile. First look at yourself in the mirror and smile, next physically "roll" the corners of your smile (mouth) downward. they won't actually roll downward, but this "forcing" action will make the corners of your mouth go strait across thus limiting the "puffy" cheek look that can make one's smile looking "piggy". Pay attention to how that feels, you will remember that feeling so you know that you are doing it correctly when not infront of the mirror.
Next, practice that "oh, I am so happy" beaming glow while you are doing that smile. See how your whole face lights up? This is the look you want to project when in front of the judges on stage in particular. One added plus to doing this, is that you won't have your mind on the fact they are scrutinizing your every move and you'll be projecting that "winning glow" many judges look for.
