How to Apply


The Miss America Opportunity stands for empowering young women across the country to be the best they can be through leadership, talent, communication skills and smarts. Each year, thousands of young women participate at the local, state and national levels, culminating in the selection of 51 national finalists who compete for the title of Miss America.  One of them could be you!

​To become Miss America, a contestant must first win a local competition and then compete to represent her state, a process requiring personal commitment, hard work, and talent.  A woman may compete at the state level more than once but may only compete in the national Miss America competition one time.

Step 3: SpotFund Registration & Donation

 
MAO is a proud partner of the American Heart Association (AHA), and each contestant must raise $30 for each local competition she participates in.

After completing your delegate contract in Step 2, you will receive an e-mail with a unique link to proceed to the Spot Fund registration.

Step-​by-Step Guide
Please note that if you already have a SpotFund account from a previous year, you must still click the new link to connect your account for the current C27 Cycle. Otherwise, funds may be allocated to the wrong year or become lost when the previous link closes. 

C26 delegate profiles will expire on July 22, 2025. You do not want funds for C27 to be allocated to your old cycle profile. Once that profile expires, you will not receive fundraising credits for C27.
