The Miss Ohio direct entry fee is $600 and must be paid when submitting this form. This fee includes your Title, Official Crown, and Sash. If you already have an official Miss America Local Crown, you may use your existing crown and receive a $75 discount.
In appreciation of those who competed in local programs this season, we will refund you $25 for each local competition you entered. This refund will occur the third week of March.
We have multiple titles available for direct-entry Contestants, see list below.
If you would like a custom title representing your area, city, or county, you may submit a request for the custom title along with a $50 fee. The fee will cover the state of Ohio registration fees. If we cannot register your custom title, we will refund your $50 fee.
