This week, the national Miss America pageant will be held in Orlando, with the 2024 theme being “Bringing Back the Magic.”
In the Walt Disney Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, preliminary and final rounds of the Miss America’s Teen and Miss America contests will take place from now until January 14. American state delegates will gather in Central Florida for talent, fitness, and fashion competitions.
Tickets for the Miss America Preliminaries on January 10, the talent rehearsal on January 12, and the Miss America’s Teen Finals on January 13 are still available, even if the Miss America Finals on January 14 are sold out.
The event grants about $5 million worth of cash scholarships annually. While Miss America’s Teen 2024 earns a four-year scholarship at the University of Alabama or a $25,000 tuition scholarship, the incoming winner will get the chance to tour the nation and a $50,000 scholarship.
“Empowering Women to Lead” in fields like philanthropy, business, the arts, politics, education, and more is the mission statement of the brand.
