One pageant for all five boroughs

New York City is the largest city in the United States, and its contest brings together women from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. A candidate from Astoria, Harlem, Park Slope, Washington Heights or St. George competes in the same city stage, and her neighbors, coworkers and followers decide how far she goes.

Few cities are as closely tied to fashion and beauty. The Garment District, New York Fashion Week, the magazines, the agencies and the beauty brands headquartered here make style part of everyday work for many New Yorkers. The city also runs on finance, media, healthcare, tech and the arts, and it studies at Columbia, NYU, Fordham and the campuses of the City University of New York.

New York moves fast, and nobody has a free weekend for a pageant. That is why the contest runs online: you enter from your phone, your supporters vote from a shared link once a day, and you keep your job, classes and family life while you compete.

The AmericaBeauty New York 2026 to 2027 titleholder goes on to the national final, streamed online in June 2027.

Is this the Miss New York City pageant?

No. AmericaBeauty New York City is an independent pageant and is not affiliated with Miss USA, Miss America or Miss Universe or their state or local organizations. Candidates here pay no entry fee.

I live in New Jersey and work in Manhattan. Can I enter New York City?

You enter in the state where you live, so a New Jersey resident enters the New Jersey contest. If you live in any of the five boroughs, enter New York City.

Does every borough have its own contest?

No. All five boroughs compete together in the New York City stage. Women from Yonkers, Long Island or other New York cities without their own page choose Other city in New York and still get their own city stage.

I am over 30. Can I still compete?

Yes. Women 30 and over compete in AmericaBeauty Classic, and there is no upper age limit. Married women and mothers are welcome.
