Important Crown Policy: Entry fees do not include a crown. Returning titleholders may reuse their crown from a previous title. New contestants must purchase an official crown through us. Please note: Teen and Miss crowns are different sizes and cannot be interchanged between divisions.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE IN A LOCAL COMPETITION FIRST!

Please see the guidelines to remember while serving with your At-Large title:

At-Large title is effective from the date that the Entry Fee is paid. The sooner you sign up, the sooner you receive your crown and sash.
We strongly encourage you to ultilize sponsors to help defray the cost of your entry fee.
At-Large titles will end at the conclusion of the Miss Minnesota competition each year. In 2027-28, your title will end on June 18, 2027. At this time, your year of service has concluded and appearances representing your At-Large title must cease. On June 19, 2027, you are eligible to compete in a Local Competition or complete the At-Large registration for 2028-29.
At-Large delegates MUST respect cities that host Local Competitions, for both Teen and Miss. Please refrain from making appearances in those communities, even if you live there, without approval from the Local Organization. Seeking sponsorship from organizations that support a Local Competition, it must first be cleared with the respective Local Organization. A good rule is to always invite the local titleholder from that community to participate alongside you. If you are not sure who to contact, please contact the State Director for details.
Included in your At-Large entry fee is your official sash. If a crown is worn with the official sash, it must be the Miss America Local Titleholder crown which you will need to purchase through the state board for $170 Shipping Included.
At-Large delegates must also pay competition fees to the Miss Minnesota Organization.
- Teens: $375
- Miss Shared Room: $700
- Miss Private Room: $1,000
At-Large delegates MUST adhere to all rules and regulations of the Miss Minnesota Scholarship Organization whether a Teen or Miss titleholder.
Must sign up on the Miss America website and pay the $49.99 once per year fee to Miss America. Follow this link: https://www.club.missamerica.org/join-page once open, click on the State of Minnesota.
At-Large delegates must raise $300 for the American Heart Association, required by Miss America on or before June 1, 2027.
Attend Zoom meeting calls to learn about the deadlines, etc for Miss Minnesota.
Attend delegate Orientation on April 2-3, 2027 to learn about competing during Miss Minnesota week, turn in final paperwork as requested, and participate in any events leading up to the state competition.
The Miss Minnesota Board of Directors has final approval after reviewing your paperwork and video to accept you as an At-Large delegate to participate in the Miss Minnesota State Competition. We will notify you via email after reviewing your submission.

We cannot wait to see the impact you have on your community and the work you will do with your Social Impact Initiative! The entire Miss Minnesota Organization congratulates you and is excited to see you on our stage!
