FIND YOUR STATE
State Pageants
State pageant winners receive their $550 national entry fee paid to our award-winning national pageant and other prizes.
NEW: There are now more ways to get to nationals! If you compete at your state pageant and do not win, you will be eligible to take any available open title from our open title list at a discount to compete at nationals. These open titles will be appointed on a first come, first serve basis. Missed your state pageant? Many of our state pageants now allow you to take any available title from our open titles list and compete at nationals if you missed state. If your state is participating, you will see it noted as Open (you can take an open title for nationals even if you didn't compete at state) or Limited Availability (a limited number of open titles for nationals will be available to those who didn't compete at state).
