Become a Candidate for Miss Minnesota 2023 and
​Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen 2023

For the 2022-23 Competition season, MISS and TEEN candidates will first register for a local competition via a link that Miss America has provided to us.   Follow the link below to register and pay the $35.  The $35 is paid one time per year.
                        
Once you pay the $35, it takes you to the $75 site, where you can select the local competition you wish to compete in,  for example,  Morris Area Competition or Winona Competition - select the local you are looking for then pay the $75.  Miss pay $75 for each local they compete in.

TEENS:  You must still follow the $75 process, however, once a local is selected, and you select the  MAO Teen link, it will use a "-0-"  in the checkout box.  Only MISS pay the $75 each time they compete in a local!

Questions:  Contact Kathy at kathyshellum@missminnesota.org
