AFTER you have registered with Miss America and completed the Delegate Agreement, you may proceed to complete the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program one-time requirements to be eligible to compete in Ohio.

The following steps on this form will only need to be completed ONCE this season and will apply to all local competitions. You MUST complete these steps before you will be eligible to enter your first competition.

If you are under 18 years of age as of the day you submit this form, a parent or legal guardian must submit this form on behalf of the contestant.

If you have any questions, you may email ContestantHelp@missohio.org

SCHOLARSHIP RULES & REGULATIONS

Local programs will award scholarships to the new MISS and TEEN Titleholders. In many cases, the local may also award scholarships for runner-up positions, phase-of-competition scholarships, etc.

Contestants are required to complete and electronically sign the online Scholarship Rules and Regulations. These Scholarship Rules & Regulations apply to ALL Local Competitions, so you only need to sign and submit this once electronically.

If you, the CONTESTANT, are 18 years or older today, click the following link to complete the scholarship Rules and Regulations yourself.

MANDATORY DATES

If you become a Local MISS or TEEN Titleholder, you will be required to attend the following MANDATORY Miss Ohio/Miss Ohio's Teen State Events:

Spring Forum - Saturday, April 11, 2026
Miss Ohio Week 2026 - June 13-20, 2026

The following are optional but highly encouraged:

Golf Outing Fundraiser - Saturday, May 9, 2026
Camping Retreat Weekend - May 15-17, 2026- Miss Titleholders Only!

Event dates are subject to change.

If you have a school-related event during the Spring Forum, we will require a letter from the school stating the event's details and confirming that it is school-related and mandatory for you to attend.

Once the MOSP Board of Directors receives this information, they will vote on whether this can be excused or not. If this is not excused, it is possible that you will not be eligible to compete at Miss Ohio in June 2026.

If you miss the Spring Forum due to a school-related event, you will need to obtain any and all information that was either distributed or discussed from your local director or an appointed MOSP person to review what was presented.

NO SHOW RULES

If a contestant submits the Entry Form for a local competition and does not show up for two of them in one competition year, July to March, she will be ineligible to compete within the Miss Ohio System for a full calendar year from the date of the second unexcused absence.

EXAMPLE: A contestant has an unexcused absence on September 5, 2025 and a second unexcused absence on November 15, 2025. That contestant is ineligible to compete until November 15, 2026.

Excuses agreed upon by the local directors (still the local director’s discretion of whether to excuse the contestant or not): death in the family, illness with a doctor’s note / sudden illness under the discretion of the director, work-related with documentation from the employer, school related with documentation from the school.

Each local director will notify the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program of the names of contestants who did not show, along with the reason for their absence and whether they were excused or not.

The Miss Ohio Scholarship Program will send out a notification when a contestant is ineligible to compete. This notice will include the date she can compete again.
