National Outstanding Miss™ is a service-focused pageant that prioritizes service, leadership, and integrity. Philanthropy makes up 40% of the overall competition score, making what you do in your community a central part of the competition—not an optional extra.

NOM currently offers three age divisions:

Teen: Ages 13–19
Miss: Ages 20–39
Timeless: Ages 40+

Additional divisions may be added in future program years.

No. Previous pageant experience is not required.

There are no additional optional competitions required to earn the National title.

No. There are no state competitions for the 2027 program year. Appointed Delegates advance directly to Nationals.

The inaugural National Outstanding Miss™ National Event will be held June 11–13, 2027 at The Castle Hotel in Orlando, Florida. The event is live and in person.

The National Fee is $695. A $25 application fee is applied toward the National Fee upon acceptance.

Delegates must complete a minimum of 24 verifiable service hours between May 2026 and May 2027, with required documentation due May 30, 2027.
