Pageants in Nebraska, from the plains to the state title
Nebraska stretches across the Great Plains, from the Missouri River on its eastern edge through the Sandhills to the Panhandle near Wyoming. Most entries come from Omaha and Bellevue, from the capital Lincoln, and from Grand Island, Kearney, North Platte and Scottsbluff along the Platte River valley.
Agriculture is at the heart of the state, while Omaha has a large insurance, finance and logistics sector. The University of Nebraska in Lincoln and Creighton in Omaha bring a big student community, and few places share as much hometown pride on game day as Nebraska does. Omaha's Old Market and the Haymarket district in Lincoln are favorite spots for shopping, dining and photos with friends.
Driving from Omaha to Scottsbluff takes about seven hours, and many candidates live in small farming towns. AmericaBeauty Nebraska runs online, so you compete from home, and supporters from your town, your college or your workplace vote once a day with one tap.
Nebraska cities where you compete
Every Nebraska city with entries gets its own city stage. Choose "Other city in Nebraska" and enter Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue, Grand Island or Kearney, and you compete for your city title before the state stage.
