About Mrs. Washington America, Mrs. Washington American and Miss Washington For America
Mrs. Washington America, Mrs. Washington American and Miss Washington For America
The MRS. WASHINGTON AMERICA Pageants are a prestigious televised pageant for married ladies of all ages and have had a long, successful history in the state of Washington, supporting and empowering women for decades!
Our mission is to empower and mentor women to “Make a Difference” in their communities. You will experience a year filled with free workshops, community service, appearances, parades, fun filled events and parties, and you will meet new friends and create memories that you will cherish for a lifetime!
Even if you do not come away with the crown, you will experience your own WIN with all of the personal growth and development that you achieve, as well as knowing that you are becoming the very best version of yourself, the woman that you have always wanted to be!

Recent Changes & New Titles:
In 2018, a brand-new title was created for those women who want to compete in the state of Washington who are NOT MARRIED! That title is called, “Miss Washington For America”. Eligible contestants must be age 18 and above and can be single, divorced or widowed (otherwise unattached), and can have children or not.
In 2020, yet another title was created! This new title is ONLY for women who are married, BUT it is given to the woman who becomes First Runner Up in the Mrs. competition. Therefore, if you don’t win the “Mrs. Washington America” title, you still have a chance to win the “Mrs. Washington American” title and go on to compete at the annual National competition.
ALL THREE of these titles are given away on the same night, at the same pageant, and ALL THREE winners go on to compete at the National Competition in Las Vegas!
Both of the new titles are owned and operated by the "Mrs. America Presents" Pageants organization. There is a “Miss For America and a “Mrs. American” Pageant held in every state!
About Director/Producer/Choreographer Pamela Curnel:
Pam Curnel, along with her husband, Dr. David Curnel, has been the Mrs. Washington America State Director/Producer for nearly 30 years! She won the Mrs. Washington title herself, and then the following year, she took over as the state Director.

In addition to being the pageant's Director/Producer/Choreographer/Dance Instructor, Pamela also enjoys designing costumes for Mrs. Washington to take to Mrs. America for the parade of states.

I have been a contestant in this pageant for 5 years, although I did have to withdraw due to health reasons one year. I had no pageant experience prior to competing in the Mrs. Washington organization, and really had no clue what to expect. My exposure to pageants was limited to what I had seen on TV watching Miss USA, Miss Universe and Miss America. I didn't even know that pageants for married women or women over 30 even existed! I saw a local TV show one day and a woman was talking about ho Show more

I was honored to be a Judge at the Mrs. Washington Pageant this past year. Even during COVID restrictions this was a fabulous event. Every safety concern was beautifully addressed. It made this year's pageant even more meaningful to the beautiful contestants and judges. Bravo!
