Pageants in North Dakota, from your hometown to the state title
North Dakota is a big, open state with a small population, and most residents live in a handful of cities. Fargo and West Fargo sit on the Red River at the Minnesota line, Grand Forks lies further north along the same river, Bismarck and Mandan face each other across the Missouri, and Minot anchors the north central prairie. Entries come from all of them, and just as much from farm towns and the oil country of the west around Williston and Dickinson.
Campus life shapes a big part of the scene. North Dakota State University in Fargo and the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks fill the two eastern cities with young women every fall, while the energy and agriculture economy keeps families rooted in smaller towns. Local fairs, rodeos and community events have long given women a stage, and AmericaBeauty adds a title that anyone in the state can reach.
Distances are the reason online voting suits North Dakota so well. Driving from Williston to Fargo takes most of a day, and winter roads can close without much warning. Every stage of AmericaBeauty North Dakota runs online, so a candidate in a ranch town has the same chance as one in a college dorm, and her supporters vote from wherever they are.
North Dakota cities with their own contest
Every North Dakota candidate picks her city at entry. Women from Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, Minot or West Fargo, and those from smaller towns who choose Other city in North Dakota, each get their own city stage, and the winner of each city stage moves up to the state stage.
