Welcome Big/Littles!
For the 2026 StatePageant, you can register for the state title and participate in the agHERsisterhood program. We welcome you to join our state queen court and become eligible to compete at the National Pageant.
Currently, there is only a state pageant in Texas and the Sisterhood Program does NOT apply to Texas applicants.
What state title will I receive?
Queen titles are awarded "first come, first serve" through registration. If the age division title is being represented by another queen, then additional titles can be claimed.
Each age division can only be represented by three individuals. Once full, then the individual can choose to represent another state or wait until the following year.
This means each state can have as many as 21 state queens!
