Background

Selection of contestants

Contestants who are participated in each state with the eligibility rules having reverted to compete not more than a single state per year between the contestant's hometown or residency since Crystle Stewart took over the directorship role at the end of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the duration between most of the state pageants from the previous year's competition are shortened from eight to eleven months. Delegates from the 50 states and the District of Columbia are selected in state pageants which began in September 2021 and will end in July 2022, as the state pageant schedule can become very dense between the last state pageant held from 2021. The first state pageants were Idaho and Montana, held together on September 12, 2021, and the last states pageant will be Colorado and Texas, scheduled to take place on July 3, 2022.
