Preliminary
Pageants
These are the preliminary pageants for the 2026 Miss Kentucky Bluegrass State Finals pageant!
Competition and scoring for preliminary pageants are designed to mimic our state event, which provides an excellent way to prepare. If you are selected as a preliminary winner, you also have the additional support of your preliminary directors to guide you along your journey to Miss Kentucky Bluegrass.
​
Winners of preliminary pageants are to submit their required ad page and $150 ad fee within 30 days of being crowned. State paperwork, entry fees, and photogenic is due by April 1, 2026- any other balances may be paid at the pageant. Details and forms found on the STATE PAGEANT page of this site.
