About Nebraska America Pageant System.
Who Are We
The Nebraska America Pageant System holds the preliminary competition to the Mrs. America, Mrs. American, & Miss Nebraska for America Strong National Pageant. The Mrs. America Pageant was created in 1938 but was on put hold from 1943-1946 because of World War II and was cancelled in 1968 due to the changing world climate until David Marmel revived it with a new format in 1977.
​
Why You Should Join
This pageant is the vehicle by which women in Nebraska are able to promote family values, women’s causes, and local charities. Past holders of the Mrs. Nebraska, Mrs. Nebraska American & Miss Nebraska for America Strong title have spoken out—and continue to speak—state-wide on topics such as spending more time with our children, youth volunteerism, building strong marriages, breast cancer education in Nebraska, and domestic violence. Mrs. Nebraska has something important to say, and we hope you will hear her.
​
I'm Don't Have Pageant Experience
Few of us have done this before. In fact, the majority of ladies who enter the Mrs. Nebraska & Miss Nebraska for America Strong Pageant have never participated in a pageant; less than ten of our Mrs. Nebraska’s & Miss Nebraska for America Strong have ever held a previous title. In general, women who enter the pageant are competing for the first time and have decided to do so for the personal growth aspect of the preparation, to promote community causes, and make new friends. And they don’t hold off until winning the state crown, either. The contestants have been active throughout the year within their communities, promoting children’s causes, women’s health issues, diversity, empowerment, and personal achievement.
