The Miss America 2019 pageant was the 92nd Miss America pageant, though the Miss America Organization will celebrate its 98th anniversary in 2018. This discrepancy is due to national pageants not being held from 1928–1932 or in 1934 because of financial problems associated with the Great Depression.[2] The 2019 pageant was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey.[3] On May 23, 2018, it was announced that the pageant would air live on ABC on Sunday, September 9, 2018.[4]
At the end of the event, Miss America 2018, Cara Mund of North Dakota, officially crowned her successor, Nia Franklin of New York, as Miss America 2019.[5]
Overview
Miss America 2.0 / Changes to competition and judging criteria
On June 5, 2018, it was announced that Miss America contestants would no longer be judged based on their physical appearance and that the national Miss America event would be considered a competition, rather than a pageant, and the titleholders now candidates, rather than contestants.[6][7][8][9][10] When the program aired on September 9, 2018, the swimsuit competition was replaced with state titleholders participating in a live interactive session with the judges, "to highlight her achievements and goals in life and how she will use her talents, passion, and ambition to perform the job of Miss America."[7][8][9] The red carpet, formerly evening gown, competition allowed contestants to choose clothing, "that makes them feel confident, expresses their personal style, and shows how they hope to advance the role of Miss America."[6][11] In interviews, Gretchen Carlson, the chair of the Board of Trustees of the Miss America Organization, emphasized the organization's desire to be more welcoming, "open, transparent, [and] inclusive to women," and to prioritize displaying the talent and scholarship in the contestants.[6][12] These changes was announced by Carlson and the Miss America Organization after numerous titleholders were crowned after competing in state pageants with swimsuit competitions.[13] At the time the Miss America 2019 competition began, 46 of 51 state organizations (as well as 23 former Miss America winners) had signed a petition calling for the resignation of Carlson and CEO, Regina Hopper, from the Miss America Organization.[14] The states who had not signed were Arkansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nevada, and Vermont.[14]
Organization of competition
The preliminary competition will consist of private interviews, "red carpet" evening wear, on stage interview, and talent competitions. At the end of each of the three preliminary nights, winners of the talent and on stage interview competitions will be announced.[15] The private interview is a ten-minute session during which the candidate answers questions from the panel of preliminary judges which took place on September 4th and 5th. The interview accounts for 20% of each titleholder's preliminary score.[16] The "red carpet" evening wear competition (making up 15% of preliminary scores) consists of candidates walking down a literal red carpet and then being given 8 seconds to answer rapid fire questions relevant to their "social impact initiative," formerly referred to as a platform.[16][17] The on stage interview preliminary award is replacing the lifestyle and fitness (swimsuit) preliminary award which was awarded at every Miss America pageant from 1940 to 2018.[15] This interview portion of the competition makes up 15% of the preliminary score and consists of each candidate being asked a question by the judges and then having 20 seconds to answer.[18] The results from each woman's talent will make up 50% of the her preliminary score.[19] Scores from the preliminary competition will determine the top 15 finalists who will go on to compete on the televised final night of competition.[13] The preliminary scores will comprise 25% of each candidate's final night score.[13]
