Finish your open application
1. Sign up for Miss America’s “Club America” and pay the once-per-season $49.99 registration fee. If you already did this for a local, ignore this step!
2. Pay the $75 application fee
3. Fill out your contract. You can use the button here if the Crown Club registration does not automatically route you to the contract form. If you already did this for a local, ignore this step!
4. Raise $30 through Spotfund. Check you inbox and junkmail after you finish your crown club registration - Miss America should send you a unique link to set up your spotfund account, which you must use for all 2026 season local fundraising. Email us if you don’t get a link from Miss America within 48 hours. If you already have a unique account from a local this year, just raise an additional $30!
5. Send your judges paperwork, headshot, and a 90-100 second video of your talent to us at compete@miss-newyork.org
