​

America's National Miss offers numerous opportunities for girls and young women to broaden their personal experiences which will increase their level of confidence and self-esteem. Friendships, close family ties, encouragement from peers and personal growth are qualities desired in our youth today. We offer support in achieving goals you and your daughter have set. Modeling, public speaking, talent and scholastic achievement are only a few of the areas we can assist in. Preparation for other scholarship programs is also encouraged.

 

Various opportunities are presented during the year for our participants to demonstrate their talents throughout the country. By giving each young lady an opportunity to expand her own level of creativity, she then grows in her self-confidence and self-esteem. A true appreciation of each girl's determination and ability to stand before an audience is not only recognized by our staff, but by the community as well.

 

Take this opportunity to join our family and make memories that will last a lifetime. We offer friendships, community involvement, and a sincere interest in helping you and/or your daughter give her personal best while striving to achieve her goals in school and life. 

 

All contestants, can wear appropriate/stage make-up, still allowing their natural beauty to shine.

 

Clothing is also age appropriate. You do not need custom or designer dresses to compete in our system. Sunday, party, or flower girl dresses are fine for the younger ones. Preteens and older up can wear ball gowns, prom, or pageant dresses.

 

Our Promise to You!

We put the girls and their families first! America's National Miss is MORE than just a pageant!

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do we bring gifts for all contestants?

• A gift exchange will be done at the Thursday Party. If you want to bring gifts for each girl in your group that is fine. This is not mandatory. (It’s a great way for the girls to get to know each other) This can be as simple as a good luck card!

Do you give out numbers?

• Numbers will not be announced until after the program is complete.

What are the cash amounts given to Queens?

• Cash scholarship fund will be divided between the six national Queens. (2025 Queens will get the full amount after crowning 2026 and fulfillment of their contract.)

Do you give out scores?

• We do not give out scores at ANM, Comments will be sent out within two weeks following the pageant. There is a $15 charge for comments.

Can contestants have hair extensions and spay tans?

• YES

Does the evening gown need to be full length?

• YES

How many optionals can we enter?

• You can enter all six optionals. The more you enter the more chances you have at replacing the Fun Fashion score if it is low.

Do I have to stay at host hotel and book through the ANM group?

• No, we have multiple options this year to fit varying budgets and comfortability.

Do the National Queens sign a contract?

• YES! National Queens do sign a contract that they must follow to receive their scholarship. This includes a set number of appearances, social media postings, appropriate behavior, parent appropriate behavior, along with all other rules set by ANM Pageants.

Can ANM National Queens compete in other pageants?

• Yes, ANM National Queens can compete in other pageants. Pageants that they cannot compete in are any pageant that if won would make them forfeit their ANM National title or not allow them to make appearances representing ANM. ANM must always be put first when making appearances during the full year as an ANM National Queen.

If a state queen does not attend the National competition there is a $575 fee that must be paid within 10 days of giving up title. ANM state crown and sash must be returning to the national office so the first runner up can be crowed.
