USA National Miss Illinois

USA National Miss Illinois is the official preliminary to the USA National Miss Scholarship pageant. Part girls empowerment and part pageant, we believe we have a responsibility to immerse our delegates with positive messages and encouraging motivation, to empower them to become today's leaders. With that in mind, we have created our own UNM UniverseTM which consists of not only the national pageant, but other national programs that leaves young women empowered, motivated, encouraged, inspired and equipped to reach their full potential.

OUR MISSION:
Our slogan, Positively Empowered, aims to help young women be:
1. Purposely Bold- they are not afraid to go after their dreams
2. Courageously Just- they will stand up for what is right
3. Freely Herself- they fully embrace, love and accept themselves

OUR CROWN:
The 5 points of the USA National Miss national crown symbolize the 5 attributes described in Colossians 3:12: "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

OUR PHILANTHROPY:
Our national platform is INSPIRE. Through INSPIRE, we inspire young women to find their passion for service, and impact their communities.
