The Mrs. America Pageant, with the Mrs. World Pageant, is the largest
beauty pageant system of its kind in the world. With a record number of
applicants seeking to participate in the Mrs. America Pageant, it is now
projected that this is the fastest growing pageant program in the United
States. The Mrs. America Pageant is the only nationally televised and
recognized pageant for married women. Established in 1977, this national
competition is devoted to proving that America's 60 million married women
are, beyond a doubt, extraordinarily beautiful, poised, articulate, and
versatile. Each of the 51 Mrs. America candidates achieves the right to
participate in the Mrs. America Pageant by winning her statewide
competition. The winner of the coveted Mrs. America crown will travel
across the country making personal appearances during her year's reign.
Mrs. America will also represent our country in the Mrs. World Pageant.
History:
The original Mrs. America Pageant began in 1938 and lasted for three
decades before it was discontinued in 1968. It was designed to select the
ideal American homemaker. In 1977, David Z. Marmel formed a new pageant
organization and established beauty as a key element in the competition.
Mrs. America contestants are strongly urged to voice their opinions on
marriage and important issues of the day. |
