Welcome to our Open Preliminary Virtual Pageant Portal!​

​

We will be hosting "Open Preliminary" Pageants to qualify delegates for the International Pageant. Virtual Pageant activities will be held via our Google Meet Video Conference (similar to Zoom).  Participants can apply for any open state, regional or country title, including Latina to qualify to compete at Internationals on September 9. 2023 in New York City.  All prospective delegates must first complete Step 1 (Join the Squad) and request access to the private area (Backstage) of our website to see information only available to members.  

​

All applications are subject to Eligibility Rules.
