Hi.....can anyone tell me what is the primary (or only) source for Miss America system local crowns and is there a website for this company, and any idea the cost of a local crown?

We had a local winner from six years ago whose family had a house fire recently which could have been worse, but the part of the upstairs area of the house was her bedroom when she comes back home to see parents. She lost her crown in that spare bedroom along with other things, and we wish to get her it replaced. But our county pageant closed just before the COVID-19 pandemic (but not because of it---just lack of volunteers and endless time-consuming fighting for scholarship money) and I have no clue what does a Miss America local crown cost now. Any assistance?

And if I understand correctly, local entrants for Miss America system no longer have to get sponsors or pay funds for the Miss America and Children's Miracle Network program, which basically came off as a Miss USA state pageant type entry free.

If I recall correctly, that ended four or five years ago, so do local pageant contestants still need to pay anything to enter a 2026 Miss America local or regional state preliminary pageant even if it is disguised for charity like Miss America Organization and CMA of a few years ago?

If I'm not mistaken, I think KA Concepts still handles the crowns. I think you have to provide documentation to purchase an " official" crown. Also, I think Robin instituted an actual entry fee when she turned the pageant into a for profit event. (NT)No name

If it is a Schoppy crown can they ask them to make a replacement? The KA crowns are not as high quality as Schoppy was (NT)No name

I was curious about the same thing----about entry fee for local MAO participants. So MAO-CMA ended, now there is another charity the contestants have to pay basically entry fees? Or is it a straight-out entry/sponsorship fee like any Miss USA state pageant has required for decades now?One person above mention Robin's for-profit method, so what is the cost to enter?

What about the cost and which company makes the Miss America local banners/sashes? How much and how rapid can they be sent out upon requesting them?When we had our local (and also at the state level) we did not award banners.

This makes us wonder----if there is a pageant which offers/awards two or even three titles---usually state open titles to advance to the state pageant----does the MAO local gal pay two or three times of the amount or just the one entry fee amount to enter?And anyone know the turn-around time of ordering a MAO crown and banner?

...I am curious about the answer to the question asked above about contestants who enter a pageant with two or three titles offered.They pay one charity fee or sponsorship or two or three in this case?
