No Director in Your State? At-Large Titles

Starting January 1, states without a state director open for at-large titles. For $200, an at-large queen receives the same crown and sash as a pageant-crowned queen, plus a certificate of appointment shipped from the National Office — and she competes at Nationals right alongside our state pageant queens (the regular $495 Nationals entry applies). If a director later starts a pageant in her state, at-large queens keep their titles and help welcome the new program. Interested? Email missauthenticamerica@gmail.com
