A not-to-be-missed entertainment event, the Miss’d America Pageant started in 1994 at a local Atlantic City club and was created as a spoof of the world-famous Miss America Pageant to raise funds for a local charities.
It took place annually on the night after that famous beauty pageant, the joke being that the drag performers ‘missed’ getting into the real pageant at Boardwalk Hall. It ended in 2005 and was absent from Atlantic City for five years, before making its triumphant return on January 31, 2010, and has grown larger and more spectacular every year since.
The Miss’d America Organization is an inclusive pageant the welcomes any person assigned male at birth to compete. The use of hormones, silicone or other forms of body augmentation will not preclude participation in the contest. Miss’d America strives to support and celebrate all LGBTQIA+ people and is committed to affirming the identity of every member of this family.
