Pageants in Indiana, from the Circle City to every county
Indianapolis sits at the center of Indiana, surrounded by fast growing suburbs such as Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Greenwood. Fort Wayne anchors the northeast, South Bend and Elkhart the north, Evansville the southwest along the Ohio River, and Bloomington, Lafayette and Muncie are known as college towns.
Indiana combines manufacturing and agriculture with a large university population at Indiana University, Purdue, Notre Dame and Ball State. Racing, basketball and county fairs are part of the state's identity, and festival queens are a familiar tradition in many small towns.
AmericaBeauty Indiana carries that tradition to every corner of the state. City and state voting run online, so a candidate in Terre Haute or Kokomo competes for the state title without a trip to Indianapolis, and her supporters vote from anywhere.
Where Indiana candidates compete first
Women from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend or Bloomington and every other town in Indiana enter by choosing Other city in Indiana. Each of them still competes in her own city stage first.
