Miss'd America is an annual drag pageant held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States. It was founded in the early 1990s as a spoof of the Miss America pageant.[1][2][3] It ran through 2005, took a five-year hiatus, and resumed operation in 2010.[1] Contestants compete in four categories: swimsuit, evening gown, interview and talent, with the winner receiving $5,000.[4][5] Part of the proceeds from each edition of the pageant are donated to local LGBTQ charities and initiatives.[6] The event is produced by Rich Helfant, directed by Mark Dahl, and hosted by Carson Kressley.[1][7][8] The current reigning Miss'd America is Aria B. Cassadine, who was crowned on September 14, 2024.[9]
