& Driven Leaders
Founded in 1983 on the principles of inclusivity and building confidence, American Pageants is a scholarship pageant that celebrates personal accomplishments rather than physical appearance. With age divisions starting at seven years old, our organization fosters a supportive community where participants can grow, refine important skills such as public speaking and resume building, and make a difference in their communities.
At our core, American Pageants champions the idea that excellence knows no age and every achievement, big or small, deserves to be celebrated.
July 7-10, 2026
This summer, Achievers from across the nation will take over the beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada to compete for a coveted national American Pageants title! Fill out a free application to see if you qualify for an appointed title or state pageant.
With Special Olympics as our national Charitable Alliance, our team and titleholders are working hard to make the world a more inclusive and caring place. We host an Inclusion Training Workshop for candidates and an Inclusion Event with Special Olympics Nevada at Nationals every year, along with awarding National Titleholders stipends to host inclusion events in their local communities as part of their prize package.
We encourage all titleholders to get involved with their local or state Special Olympics chapters!
