Pageants in New Jersey, from the Hudson to the Shore
New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the country, yet it still holds the quiet Pine Barrens, farmland in the south and more than a hundred miles of Atlantic beaches along the Jersey Shore. Entries come from Newark, Jersey City and Hoboken across the river from Manhattan, from Paterson and Elizabeth, from Trenton and Princeton, from Atlantic City and the Shore towns, and from Camden near Philadelphia.
The state is a center for pharmaceuticals, finance and logistics, and many residents work in New York City or Philadelphia. Princeton University and Rutgers bring a large student community, while the boardwalks and beach towns of the Shore give summer its own social scene.
Traffic on the Turnpike and the Parkway can turn a short distance into a long trip. AmericaBeauty New Jersey runs online at every stage, so you gather votes between work, classes and family, and supporters vote from their phones once a day.
New Jersey cities where you compete
Every New Jersey city with entries gets its own city stage. Choose "Other city in New Jersey" and enter Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton or Atlantic City, and you compete for your city title in each category before the state stage.
