Miss America 2023

Miss America 2023 will be the 95th edition of Miss America pageant, though will be performed at the Mohegan Sun late in 2022.[1] The 2023 calendar year, based on several sources, may be the final year at Mohegan Sun. Somewhere in late 2022, the Miss America competitions are expected to return on a full spectator capacity yet again, the second of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Rather than being on mainstream television, the competitions are predicted for being on streaming television (or internet/web television) whenever the pageant is under way late in 2022, the second year this happens (the first was in December 2021).[3] The 2022 Miss America will hand her M.A. crown to whosoever is declared Miss America 2023 by the Miss America Organization.

Emma Broyles of Alaska will crown her successor at the end of the event.

The background

The pageant competitions are the 95th to happen, though it will be the 101st Miss America anniversary. Whosoever wants to compete has to be between ages 18 above and 26 below (born between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2003) as the new aging eligibility period being adopted from the previous edition causing a grandfather clause to extend aging process, be a United States resident/citizen and be under particular residency requirements of certain U.S. States, cities/towns and districts.[4] The participating candidates of the Miss America Competition have to also be under proper, good or excellent health for which to meet their job assignments and requirements when these women are involved.[4]

The U.S. State contests will happen during spring and summer 2022 (providing that COVID-19 does not interfere with the contestants themselves or the scheduling of the State's contests).[5]

The controversy of the Miss America competition

In general, many people have said the Miss America, though it has tried reinventing themselves for not really being a beauty contest, may have actually done the opposite. Many praise the M.A. Organization's removal of the bathing suit competitions and distanced themselves from their sexist roots of the past. But large numbers of people, particularly the ones watching, referring to or writing about Miss America say the organization are still objectifying to some women, and mainly the contest participators.[5] In other words: These females, beautiful or otherwise, need not continue being judged on and selected for their appearance (according to many women [and to some men], whether or not they monitor Miss America contests or may be Miss Americas themselves.[5] The clothes worn by some Miss Americas, and in particular those 1983 and after are often under controversies.[6] A number wonder whether these factors may come into play at the Miss America 2023 pageant when that happens.
