NEW LONDON, CT, UNITED STATES, November 30, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Mohegan Sun to host an evolved Miss America competition that encourages female empowerment.

After a hiatus last year due to the COVID pandemic, the iconic Miss America competition will be held at Mohegan Sun, with 51 women vying for the special crown.

The Dec. 16 competition will showcase a diverse group of women who are passing along the message of female strength and independence.

Over its 100 years, the event has evolved. Not only has it been moved from Atlantic City to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville Connecticut, but the competition is much different.

Candidates are no longer judged on their appearance. The bathing suit competition has been eliminated, while the talent portion has been elevated in importance. The competition has grown into an organization that encourages female empowerment and offers multiple scholarships.

“Miss America is more than a title, it’s a movement of empowering young women everywhere to dream big, to insist that their voices be heard, and to inspire change in the world around them. Of course, Miss America wears a crown—she rules,” said Shantel Krebs, Miss America Organization President & CEO.

The Miss America Organization, a 501(c) (4), is one of the most recognizable household names in America working to empower young women through education and service. The Miss America Organization is comprised of 51 licensed state organizations, including all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The organization awards more than five million dollars in cash scholarships each year and millions more in-kind per year through national, state, and local programs.
