Optional Contest
The optional contests provide more opportunities to showcase your individual interests, gain confidence, and be recognized for your talents. Each provides another opportunity to win!
A National American Miss special feature! Across the country, the optional contests are judged by completely separate panels of judges from the panels that select the state pageant winners. The optional contest scores have no effect on the overall pageant scoring.
