Miss Rodeo America
The Miss Rodeo America Pageant is held every December in Las Vegas in conjunction with the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Reigning State Rodeo Queens from across the country compete for the coveted crown of Miss Rodeo America, judged in the areas of appearance, horsemanship, and personality.
The pageant is more than a competition—it’s an opportunity for young women to gain one of the most rewarding experiences of their lives. Contestants build lifelong friendships, open doors to future careers, and become part of a proud legacy. The young woman crowned Miss Rodeo America steps into history, representing yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
About the Miss Rodeo America Organization
The Miss Rodeo America Organization exists to select a young woman to serve as an official spokesperson for the sport of professional rodeo while also providing educational opportunities for the competitors who take part in the pageant.
Miss Rodeo America will travel more than 100,000 miles during her reign, attending close to 100 rodeo performances and making appearances at schools, civic groups, and community events. Along the way, she helps educate the public and promote awareness of the sport of rodeo, its sponsors, and its traditions.
Talented, articulate, and professional, Miss Rodeo America serves as the ideal ambassador for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). She represents America’s original professional sport and also works as a model and spokesperson at promotional events, media appearances, and in advertising campaigns for western brands, sponsors, and industry partners.
