How to Become a Candidate:

Each year, thousands of young women participate at the local, state and national levels, culminating in the selection of 52 National Finalists who compete for the title of Miss America. One of them could be you!

To become Miss America, a Candidate must first enter and win a local Competition, like the Miss South Florida Fair / Miss Palm Beach County Scholarship Competition. She then competes in the Miss Florida Competition and, if she wins, will represent Florida at the Miss America Competition. This process requires hard work, talent, and personal commitment. As a State titleholder, a Candidate may only compete once at the National Miss America Competition.

We will be awarding over $13,000 in Scholarships and Cash at our Local Competition which will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at the 2025 South Florida Fair.
