About us:
The Miss Racine Organization
The Miss Racine Competition stands as one of the longest running local programs in the state of Wisconsin. The program can be traced back over 60 years! In the past 10 years, three Miss Wisconsins began their journey on the Miss Racine stage. The Miss Racine Competition has produced eight eventual Miss Wisconsins, two eventual Miss Wisconsin’s Outstanding Teen’s, and two eventual Miss Wisconsin USA’s. The Miss Racine competition is a local affiliate of the Miss America Organization, one of the nation’s leading achievement programs and the world’s largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women.
The Miss America Opportunity
Miss America is the celebrity representative of Miss America Organization, which has a storied 100+ year history, and is an iconic brand that is ‘Made in America’. Each year, our Miss America is selected from the official State Delegates who represent each state organization along with the District of Columbia, currently 51 exceptional young women between 18-28 years of age.
The role of Miss America is an exciting, fun, challenging year of service that requires energy, positivity, professionalism and courtesy. Miss America uses her term to inspire, promote, engage and represent woman across America and their respective ambitions, goals, dreams and visions of their futures.
A first step to continuing her education and career, the role of Miss America is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that carries with it prestige, influence, responsibility and great honor. Follow Miss America on all social platforms @MissAmerica and join in the excitement of the year of competitions ahead!
