Welcome to Pageant Pass! This guide walks a new Delegate through getting set up: understanding Miss America registration, learning your age division, and saving your first set of paperwork so applying to competitions later is quick. It's a short, three-part setup you can finish in a few minutes.

Part 1: Registration & Age Divisions

The first screen explains what you need before you can compete and helps you find your age division. To work through it:

  1. Read the note about Miss America Registration — completing it is required before you apply to any Miss America competition.
  2. Review the Age Divisions: Miss is for ages 18-28 and Teen is for ages 14-18. If you're 18, you may be able to choose either division, but the choice is locked for the competition year.
  3. Click Register as a Miss America Delegate to start your official registration, or Learn About Local Registration to read more. These open the Miss America website in a new tab.
  4. When you're ready, click Continue to Paperwork Setup.

Part 2: Create Your First Paperwork Template

Next, you can save a reusable set of your information and documents called a paperwork template. Creating one now means future applications fill in automatically. To create it:

  1. Enter a Template Name you'll recognize later (for example, "My Miss Paperwork").
  2. Confirm the Pageant System (Miss America).
  3. Fill in your applicant details: Full Name, Date of Birth (this sets your Competition Age Division), Email Address, and Phone Number.
  4. Add your emergency contact: Contact Name, Contact Phone, and Relationship.
  5. Optionally add a Talent Description and any Dietary Restrictions.
  6. Click Create My Template to save it.

If you'd rather set this up later, click Skip this step. To go back to the previous screen, click Back.

Part 3: You're Ready

The final screen confirms what you've set up and points you to your next steps. From here you can:

  1. Click Explore Competitions to start browsing and applying — see Finding Competitions.
  2. Click Edit Profile to update your name or photo on Your Profile.
  3. Click Manage Paperwork to add or edit your saved templates on Paperwork Templates.

When you find a competition you like, head to Applying to a Competition to submit your entry.
