No Experience Needed

The Main Event Competitions will choose the next All-American Miss Tourism

The Main Event Competitions will determine our next All-American Miss Tourism. This competition was designed for Runners Up from State Pageants, sisters in the same age category so they do not have to compete against one an other. If competing for Worlds Miss Tourism you may add All-American Miss Tourism as an Optional Event.

Every Titleholder has the opportunity to earn up to 30 bonus points before ever stepping on stage! Stay visible, complete your challenges, share your appearances and accomplishments throughout the year, and follow the Miss Tourism Procedures.

Some believe entering later in the year means they can’t earn those points—but that’s not true. Starting late yet actively and consistently Rocking Your Reign can be incredibly impressive.

What won’t earn the points? Doing nothing all year and suddenly trying to participate right before finals. Consistent effort, visibility, and dedication are what truly stand out.

INTERVIEW

Interview Overview:
The interview is your chance to let the judges see who you are beyond the crown. It may be conducted as a panel interview (all judges at once) or round robin style (one-on-one with each judge). Be prepared for either format. Stay confident, be yourself, and speak from the heart!

Why Interview Matters:
The interview helps judges see if a contestant is ready right now to represent the title. Through her answers, they can gauge her ability to handle press, speak clearly and confidently, and represent the pageant's mission.
