Welcome to the Miss Greenwood and Abbeville Organization, where we are dedicated to empowering women and creating a brighter through the 4 points of the Crown: Serivce, Style, Scholarship, and Success .
We believe our contestants are not just competing for a crown; but rather to be a role model and an ambassador for The Miss America Opportunity. We are excited to embark on this journey, and we hope to use this platform to inspire others to pursue their passions, serve their communities, and define their own paths to success. Together, we can make a difference, and we are committed to leading by example every step of the way!
What the
Mean to Us
Scholarship:
We firmly believe that education is the foundation upon which we build our dreams, which is why we will always encourage our titleholders to strived for excellence in their academic pursuits. We seek that they are passionate about learning and view every challenge as an opportunity to expand their knowledge and grow as an individual.
Style:
Style is not just about fashion; it's about expressing one's unique personality and confidence. We believe that true style is a reflection of inner beauty and self-assuredness. Whether it's through choice of clothing, the way our titleholders carry themselves, or the kindness shown to others, we ask that they aim to embody elegance, grace, and authenticity. Style is an extension of ones character, and we want our titleholders to inspire others to embrace their individuality with poise and grace.
Service:
Service to others is at the core of our values. We firmly believe that our purpose in life is to make a positive impact on the world. Our titleholders are to be actively involved in various community service initiatives, from volunteering at local shelters to organizing fundraisers for causes close to their heart. Service is not just a duty; it's a privilege, and we are committed to using our platform to encourage others to give back and make a difference in their communities.
Success:
Success is not measured solely by personal achievements but also by the impact we have on those around us. We define success as the ability to inspire, empower, and uplift others. The journey towards success can be filled with challenges and triumphs, and we instill in our titleholders that true success is a continuous process of growth, resilience, and gratitude. We are determined to empower others to pursue their dreams relentlessly and embrace their own paths to success.

Areas of Competition
Private Interview
Contestants participate in an individual 10-minute press conference-style interview. Questions are asked on their background as presented on their resume, educational and career goals, opinions on current events and social issues, and their interests, hobbies and extracurricular activities, including their Social Impact Initiative.
On Stage Conversation
Contestants will be asked a question on-stage during the pageant. Questions will be different for each contestant and will not necessarily be related to her platform or fact sheet. Questions will be curated from the judges panel and viewed as an extension of the private interview .
Talent/HERstory
Contestants perform a 90-second routine of their own choosing. Some possible talents include all types of singing, dancing, gymnastics, instrumental music, dramatic or comedy monologues, spoken word, baton twirling and ventriloquism. Other talents, however unconventional, that can be performed solo on a stage are also possible.
Health & Fitness
Contestants will dress in athletic wear and demonstrate that they are physically fit, healthy and full of life.
Evening Gown
Contestants will present themselves in evening wear, which could be a gown or something a young woman might wear for a formal evening event.
