Eligibility/ Divisions

2) How are the divisions determined? There are 3 “grade” divisions for the California state pageant. Your grade level determines the division in which you compete in, not your age.

3) What is the breakdown for the divisions (as of Fall 2019)?

The Miss California Jr. High America division is for girls in the 5th grade to 8th grade.

The Miss California High School America division is for girls in the 9th grade to 11th grade.

The Miss California Collegiate America division is for student in the 12th grade or enrolled at a college, university, graduate school, tech/trade school, or beauty college in California. The California Collegiate contestant must no older than 27 as of September 1, 2019

4) I am entering the 12th grade, but have to compete in the collegiate division? The National Pageant date and year of reign determines the divisions. The National Pageant will be held in June of 2020. If the California Collegiate titleholder wins the national title, they would reign during their freshman year of college. So yes, the majority of your reign as the California titleholder would be during your senior year. The judges will understand this. Please contact the state office if you still have further questions as to how the age division you are to compete in is determined.

5) Can I enter if I attend school outside of California, but live in California when not attending school, and still compete? With a requirement of at least 2 events a month for the titleholders, it is necessary that you spend the majority of your time in California. Attending school outside of California makes it difficult to meet those requirements. Please speak to the executive directors regarding your individual situation and to receive information about potential pageants in the state you attend school.
