This year’s event marks another step in Miss America’s transformation from a “pageant” to a “competition,” which is focused on scholarship, social impact and women’s empowerment. “We’re experiencing a cultural revolution in our country with women finding the courage to stand up and have their voices heard on many issues,” said Gretchen Carlson, Chair of the Board of Trustees, in a press release back in 2019. “Miss America is proud to evolve as an organization and join this empowerment movement.”
This shift was first announced in 2018, when Miss America decided to ditch the swimsuit portion of its competition. “By eliminating the swimsuit competition, it created an opportunity for us to redefine women’s wellness and what it means to be a great woman today in modern America,” Shantel Krebs, Chair of the Board and CEO of Miss America, said in a recent press release. Now, Miss America aims to feature a “science-backed program” that promotes “optimal women’s wellness” as the competition continues its “commitment to helping women be the best versions of themselves,” Krebs added.
