Why not? For women who long for Miss A 1.0 - those that appreciate consistent scoring (25% per since the start), age & other entry rules do not change every year, for starters (NT) -- No name, 13:50:33 07/18/25 Fri Because they give almost no money ($5,000 total per year vs. $100,000 total per year) And the competition is not as strong. You have to pay your own way to Nationals, and there's not many appearances. (NT) -- No name, 18:20:25 07/18/25 Fri Why do you even care? (NT) -- No name, 06:20:38 07/19/25 Sat The competition won’t be strong for that small of a prize. Not worth it for many young women. (NT) -- No name, 22:08:04 07/19/25 Sat Again, why do you care? How about NAM (Deja is national titleholder), USA (Allison C won both), Collegiate, World? (NT) -- No name, 16:06:09 07/20/25 Sun NAM is not near the competition as Miss America. Same with Collegiate. And Miss Oregon USA is dead for all intents and purposes. (NT) -- No name, 16:30:04 07/20/25 Sun Honestly, why do you care where girls compete? So what if they do Miss City & then next year NAM & the year after Collegiate? Lot’s of Miss A (not just here) have done them all. Abby & Sophia have done well/won national titles in other systems & then won Miss O. There seems to be some personal vendetta towards MCA (and other systems). Miss A is not even close to what it was before 2018. It is just another way for girls to get more $ & experiences they cannot get with many Miss State competitions (often national - with upwards of 100 competitors). (NT) -- No name, 08:51:24 07/21/25 Mon Hearing a rumor that Oregon Volunteer is getting a new director! (NT) -- No name, 18:30:52 08/01/25 Fri Who?! (NT) -- No name, 13:26:07 08/03/25 Sun Nicole Akins announced she took over. (NT) -- No name, 21:08:41 08/05/25 Tue Interesting! I wonder if her daughter will come over to MAO once she passes on her title (NT) -- No name, 10:46:46 08/06/25 Wed She could take over now. Nationals are done & whether her daughter has the crown, or passes it on, matters not when it comes to recruiting girls and sponsors (NT) -- No name, 13:36:53 08/06/25 Wed This wasn’t about Nicole. This is hoping her daughter comes to compete in MAO. Would be good to get more teens in Lane County (NT) -- No name, 02:53:27 08/07/25 Thu interesting to not see Lily as part of the contestants for National Sweetheart. She had been semi regularly posting as Oregon's Sweetheart (NT) -- No name, 19:18:54 08/23/25 Sat

She resigned and it is none of our business (NT) -- No name, 12:35:22 06/27/25 Fri It is though. She became a public figure when she accepted the title and it’s disrespectful to all the girls who would’ve done amazing things with their year to not address it. It also brings unwanted questions because B&B aren’t addressing it. The program deserves transparency. (NT) -- No name, 13:36:39 06/27/25 Fri It was addressed at workshop. Ask your contestant and stop posting anonymously on this sad space. (NT) -- No name, 15:03:28 06/27/25 Fri Except their version of “addressing it” was to tell contestants to not ask any questions. That’s not transparency. (NT) -- No name, 21:15:22 06/27/25 Fri Perhaps its none of your business.....just a thought.¯\\(ツ)/¯ (NT) -- No name, 11:50:37 06/28/25 Sat Abby was not missing - she worked her butt off until whatever came up. Your idea of, what, replacing her with Emily for the last ~2 months & take away her option to compete this year? If you are that desperate to know, go to Seaside today & ask the state directors. (NT) -- No name, 07:03:05 06/28/25 Sat How odd… no one has asked about Abigail’s whereabouts for weeks…. But now that the bitterness of the week is setting in, the sour grapes are full of questions!! (NT) -- No name, 06:15:11 06/28/25 Sat I think when there wasn’t a press release of resignation of a public figure, people start to question. Not out of malice, just general curiosity. It’s an easy “We are so grateful and proud of how she has represented our state. She is needing to step away from her duties due to personal matters. We wish her the best.” Some people don’t follow every bit of news, so had no idea she needed to resign. Let’s all assume positive intent. (NT) -- No name, 13:24:19 06/28/25 Sat

Subject: repost from January 2024
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:51:45 06/06/25 Fri I’m so disappointed in the adults on here degrading young women. Moms…. Make a better example of yourself for your girls. If your daughter’s been mistreated, then you understand the detriment of your nasty comments and the heart ache it causes. Girls….: be better too, if YOU’VE been mistreated you know how it feels so why would you want that for other girls?. If you’re going for a crown and to be a role model, don’t get wrapped up in this nonsense. Take the higher road. Maybe show some of these catty mom’s how to behave better too. This whole thread and forum is sick & disappointing. Judges don’t see this, the girls you’re trashing do. Was thrilled to see no bashing this year, very disappointed. Posting / ranting here does no good. If you are a girl who has witness behavior, take it to B&B, if it is hearsay - keep it to yourself. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
I have to respectfully disagree. Calling out toxic behavior—especially when it’s ongoing and harmful—is not the same as “bashing” or spreading hearsay. Protecting girls by staying silent only allows bad behavior to continue unchecked. If someone has experienced or witnessed mistreatment, they should absolutely feel empowered to speak up. Saying “take it to B&B” assumes those systems always work or that girls feel safe using them. That’s not always the case. And telling people to “keep it to themselves” if it’s hearsay can silence those who may be trying to protect others from the same hurt. This forum should be a place where real conversations happen. Ignoring the problem to protect appearances does more harm than good. Accountability isn’t hate—it’s growth. (NT) -- No name, 19:06:56 06/06/25 Fri Guessing you are new. B&B is Beth and Blaine (you know, the Miss Oregon state directors). Posting here does nothing go tell B&B (NT) -- No name, 20:47:18 06/06/25 Fri Do you really think slandering young women on this board accomplishes ANYTHING? Beth and Blaine have a track record of handling issues privately with success. At least that was our experience. (NT) -- Local Director, 10:10:41 06/16/25 Mon

This was why the end of year regionals were created. So Miss County could stay and give her title to the new girl & then compete at Miss Three Rivers/Miss Cascade / Miss Southern Jewel/Gem.

Author: Emily (happy to help!) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:52:30 05/02/24 Thu Hello Everyone! I have been in Oregon for almost 12 years now and got plugged in to the Miss Washington County Pageant for a few years and I am back at it helping gout a local Miss. She is struggling with fun raising. Does anyone have a template for a flyer I can use to walk around to businesses? I remember when I competed there was a letter with tax information and such. Any advise is welcomed! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

She has a strong CSI and is really good in interview. She seems to have grown a lot in the couple of years she has competed.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:27:32 12/12/23 Tue FROM RYAN K. BROWN TO all local directors: Aloha Miss and Teen Directors, In recent months, we have received an uptick of inquiries regarding former competitors volunteering on all levels who are still competition-eligible. For clarification, an eligible female for competition even if they are engaged, may not serve as a local or State program officer or committee member. They may temporarily volunteer on the day of the event to assist in non-official capacities, i.e: manning a reception desk, helping to distribute information, selling program books, all areas that are helpful but are one-off opportunities and not positions of authority. They especially should not be assigned any volunteer role working with delegates, in dressing rooms, interview lineup, or other activities where they are assisting other competitors. Volunteers must wait until AFTER completing their eligibility to hold a position with a Local or State program [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Kiri has everything to back her up, great talent and definitely a good interviewer. Audrey in my opinion though definitely deserves it she’s put in the work for the win.

(NT) -- No name, 17:23:09 04/19/23 Wed Kiri would make a great titleholder. She is so sweet and kind to everyone.

(NT) -- No name, 14:16:22 04/13/23 Thu Looking at the judges panel, it could be anyone’s game. Very inexperienced group, local to coos bay/ north bend, no specific area of talent expertise… this will be a fun surprise 😄 (NT) -- No name, 07:06:21 04/20/23 Thu An inexperienced judge can still see who the real contenders are. (NT) -- No name, 14:52:46 04/20/23 Thu If they are all local, does that give young ladies from Coos County a better shot than others? (NT) -- No name, 20:56:18 04/20/23 Thu It’s interesting. Judging panels for locals this year were far more diverse than the teen state. For the Miss, they bring people from out of state. (NT) -- No name, 19:01:47 04/21/23 Fri Wonder if they will this year (NT) -- No name, 21:13:16 04/21/23 Fri I don't think they have the budget to bring out of state judges in for 2 full panels. But I agree that it would be better to pull from all over Oregon, and not 3 from the same county.

With the new contract, this will become the new norm for Miss and Teen. They can decide to end their year of service after state or to crown their successor (NT) -- No name, 18:48:01 04/02/23 Sun The teens are always pushed to the side. From what I have seen recently is the Teens aren’t given the opportunity to do what they really want to do. It’s always the Miss that are given the supplies and support for what they want to achieve. (NT) -- No name, 20:20:04 04/02/23 Sun The Teen program is designed to have the Teens focus on their education vs. appearances. The Miss title is to be aspired to, and not duplicated on the Teen level. (NT) -- Sorry, Charlie., 10:47:16 04/03/23 Mon It could be because many go out of state for college & do not want to skip a year if they win (NT) -- No name, 21:45:44 04/02/23 Sun Maybe the program doesn’t treat their girls quite as well as they advertise on social media. (NT) -- No name, 22:44:32 04/02/23 Sun Teen has increased in attendance each year in the past 3 years: from 12 in 2021, 14 in 2022, and 16 in 2023 (NT) -- No name, 10:41:45 04/03/23 Mon I will bite on this topic. Why would a teen want to compete when clearly this program is all about the Miss. It used to feel like a great accomplishment but now it’s not much more than winning a local. The teens need a reason to want to compete. If not they will go elsewhere and find a competition that makes them feel like they matter. Bring back the excitement for teens. (NT) -- No name, 20:46:55 04/06/23 Thu Is $5000 enough reasons to compete? The more you compter, the more you win. Everyone who competes as a Teen at state walks away with a scholarship, which is more than you can say for any other Teen competiton in the state. What more is it exactly that you want? (NT) -- No name, 20:05:27 04/07/23 Fri Sometimes it’s NOT all about the scholarship. As a former pageant competitor myself I learned more from those that didn’t provide a scholarship. (NT) -- No name, 21:01:53 04/07/23 Fri Very interested to hear which Teen program is better than MOSP’s (NT) -- Sincerely Curious., 12:16:55 04/08/23 Sat What makes the teen program so great besides the scholarship? (NT) -- No name, 13:23:27 04/08/23 Sat Déja was able to go to college on a full ride thanks to MAO. They now have parterships with 5-6 Universities that can be given to any teen that represents their state at nationals. Also 2 full years of dental sponsorship, several choices for wardrobe sponsorship, public speaking training, representing the state at all the locals, and opportunities to make appearances when they fit in with their school schedule…. What more do you want? (NT) -- No name, 16:26:38 04/08/23 Sat Having their own comp weekend & the new MOT having 3+ mos prep will make a difference (NT) -- No name, 20:07:06 04/07/23 Fri Exactly. Oregon has had some amazing young ladies come through Teen, but they never had time to prepare for the national level of competition. I am very excited to see where Oregon can go with their own seperate Teen competition and time to prepare. I predict a semi-finalist (finally) soon!

Could be a huge (for Oregon) class this year. Gonna need more hotel rooms 😎 (NT) -- No name, 10:37:02 03/12/23 Sun Regional will do a max of four (2 north, 2 south); Open will depend upon how many girls they get. Does not look like at large is a guarenteed ticket, there is an application process and review/acceptance by the board - so, again it will depend on how many they get (and if they did a limit). Cannot imagine going beyond 24 (we had that many in 2019) - which means we could see 13 new titleholders on 4/1.

(NT) -- No name, 21:56:53 03/17/23 Fri True, that was the point of the virtual open. I am sure Sophia already has a plan for a mini Zoom orientation with all remote, open winners. I seem to recall, last year, Kaitlyn (Emerald Valley) had a previous engagement the day after regional & was not there - so precedent has been set to get permission & be excused from orientation.

At some point, don’t you just say ‘okay I’m done’? To me it looks like she is well on her way to achieving her dreams and actually being Miss Oregon may hinder that vs help it.

Like Rachel Forest in Idaho-she won, the quit the next day taking the big $ and headed to college. Pretty smart of the new owner, especially with older girls. Win the big package, quit the next day; pay off those student loans (depending upon the state & their$$) and be free (go back to their career, get married, move to Iceland) .. was really a win-win before..

That list and the "first award" to Abigail .. can totally understand why someone is suggesting (the website) post the WU is for all eligible state candidates/contestants/whatever they are called now. (NT) -- YMMV, 10:39:17 02/13/23 Mon I’m sure it will be clearer this year. Maybe during orientation the will go over all the prizes (NT) -- No name, 15:55:26 02/13/23 Mon

Subject: Has anyone heard anything new on us keeping the digital open/regional, or are we going to just have them all go at-large? I am sure girls would like to know (especially those out of state)
