Miss Arkansas Diamond Submissions Now OPEN!!!

The Miss Arkansas Pageant is proud to open submissions for the 2026 class of Miss Arkansas and Miss Arkansas’ Teen Diamonds and Gems.  The Diamond program was developed as a mentoring opportunity for young women and young men, with the goal to introduce young people across our state to the Miss America Opportunity, the largest scholarship provider for women in the world. In 2004, the Miss Arkansas Pageant began welcoming and mentoring children from across the state, now celebrating its 22nd year of providing life-changing moments and the chance to walk the Miss Arkansas stage.  In 2023, Miss America introduced the national Little Sisters program. Our Arkansas Diamonds Program is a chapter of this national program.

Each Diamond will again this year accompany the candidates during on-stage competition as well as other events throughout the state competition week.  We are also excited that our 2026 Diamond class will have an opportunity to spend time with our current Miss Arkansas, Kennedy Holland and Miss Arkansas’ Teen, Amelia Lisowe. To complete an application to participate in our Diamond program, please visit the Get Involved section of the Miss Arkansas website for more information.
