On-Stage Question

Now, in addition to her personal platform, Miss America will also serve as a goodwill ambassador for

Children's Miracle Network. This new national platform will provide Miss America titleholder competitors the

opportunity to not only raise funds and awareness for her personal platform but also for Children's Miracle Network

thus maximizing her exposure and impact during her year of service.

What does this mean to you on the local level?

Service, one of the four points of the crown, has always been important to contestants striving for the

opportunity to be Miss America. To build on this, contestants competing at any level in the Miss America

system will now be required to raise a minimum of $100 to support Children's Miracle Network and the

Miss America Scholarship Fund. This is NOT an entrance fee, but rather a new service requirement, by

the Miss America Organization, Inc., to participate in Miss America sponsored pageants.

The Miss America Organization, Inc. service requirement, will not only continue the Miss America

Organization's legacy of service and scholarship assistance, but also raise funds and awareness for

Children's Miracle Network.

To assist you in the new Miss America requirement, the Miss America Organization and Children's

Miracle Network have developed a website which you will use to raise donations. Along with completing

the application forms below, you will need to CLICK HERE, which will lead you to a new page further

explaining directions on how to log on to the new MAO/CMN website which will assist you in the creation

of your own personal fund raising web page.

The Miss Hoosier Heartland and Miss Hoosier Valley Scholarship Organization does NOT require an

entry fee to compete; however, in order to be eligible you must meet all requirements as outlined above,

under platform, by the Miss America Organization, Inc.
