Please note that all state queens are expected to represent their state at the National Pageant. One state queen from every state, in your age division will compete to win the Imperial Crown Miss USA Title. As a state queen you will have the opportunity to travel to state pageants to visit and help out with the pageants. As visiting royalty and with the help of the Imperial Crown Miss USA Appointed program team, you will become more acquainted with our program, and it will help you understand what the pageant experience is really like at nationals. If you are chosen as a state queen, then you may choose to be crowned on stage at your state pageant (if there is a pageant in that state but not that age division) or at a state pageant close to your state. We want you to have the exciting opportunity to be a part of a state pageant and be crowned on stage.
