Miss Black Indiana USA stands as a prestigious preliminary pageant, serving as the gateway to the illustrious Miss Black USA competition. The crowned victor of Miss Black Indiana USA earns the remarkable privilege of representing the state of Indiana on the national stage at the Miss Black USA pageant, where she competes for the coveted title of Miss Black USA.
Miss Black Indiana USA encompasses four essential segments of competition: a private interview, on-stage question, evening gown presentation, and swimsuit showcase. To be eligible for the title of Miss Black Indiana USA, aspiring participants must fall within the age range of 18 to 28 before January 1st of the year they aim to enter the Miss Black Indiana USA pageant. Additionally, they must have secured victory in a preliminary pageant.
In the year 2024, the titleholder will be selected by the appointed director through a title showcase. Women hailing from various regions of Indiana will have the opportunity to vie for the coveted title. This style of pageantry differs in that it doesn't involve a full-scale production, but rest assured, it will be judged with the same level of dedication as a traditional state pageant.
Contestants will undergo the following judging process:
A preliminary remote interview will be done to determine the title holder for their specific city/area in Indiana. Once selected, the city/area title holder will pay a fee of $900 and advance to compete in the one-day Miss Black Indiana USA Pageant. This fee covers sash and crown to represent city.
The one-day pageant will comprise interviews, on-stage questions, fitness, and talent segments. There will be no formal wear requirement, and on-stage questions will be conducted in interview attire. Fitness and talent attire are at the discretion of the city/area title holder, but participants are encouraged to dress to impress.
