History

The event began in 1947 as the Miss Oregon Pageant and was founded by the merchants in the coastal city of Seaside.^[1] Miss Oregon was designated the official State Hostess in 1969.^[2] In 2001, Katie Harman was crowned Miss Oregon and went on to win the Miss America crown, becoming the only Miss Oregon winner of the national event. The event is now titled the Miss Oregon Scholarship Pageant.^[3]

The event is held at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center at the Oregon Coast with local Seaside merchants as the primary sponsors of the annual contest.^[1] The preliminary nights narrow the competition down to around ten finalists before selecting a winner on finals night. Events at the event include an evening wear competition, talent competition, a fitness wear competition, and a private interview.^[4] The competition includes an interview on-stage as the final portion before a winner is selected.^[4]

In addition to the chance to become Miss America, the winner also receives scholarships.^[1] Contests range in age from 18 to 28, and must first win local competitions or compete at large before qualifying for the Miss Oregon contest.^[4]
