Now celebrating its 32th year in its modern
format, the Mrs. America Pageant is the only
nationally televised pageant for married women.
It focuses the attention of the nation and the
world on the versatility of the contemporary
American married woman. Each of the 51
Mrs. America candidates earns the right to
participate in the national event by winning
her statewide competition. These state
pageants are under the direction of
Mrs. America State Directors, a network of
respected and talented community and
business leaders reflecting one of the finest
pageant systems in the world.
