Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the Miss Arab USA Pageant, and more meaningfully, in shaping what could be a life-changing experience for many of our young contestants.
Miss Arab Organization is proud to present a program we define as "Pageantry With Purpose." From the beginning, our judging panel has been composed of civic-minded individuals who generously volunteer a weekend of their time to support and uplift the next generation of Arab-American women.
Our Purpose
The goal of the Miss Arab USA Pageant is to select an honorable young Arab woman who will serve as a cultural ambassador throughout the United States for one year. Unlike traditional pageants, Miss Arab USA does not include a swimsuit competition or place emphasis on body criteria.
We celebrate the beauty of the mind, cultural pride, education, and community service. The winner is selected based on her elegance, intellect, talent, leadership, social contribution, and overall potential to represent Arab values with dignity and grace.
Who Makes a Great Judge?
Many of our judges have never participated in a pageant before. They come from all walks of life: business professionals, educators, public servants, media figures, artists, and individuals from the beauty and wellness industries.
What qualifies you is not pageant experience, but the following qualities:
-
Integrity – Being honest, objective, and thoughtful in your evaluation
-
Diligence – Giving each contestant fair time and serious consideration
-
Fairness – Judging by the pageant’s criteria, not personal preferences
-
Unbiased Perspective – Setting aside stereotypes or assumptions
What It Means to Judge
Being selected as a judge is an honor and a responsibility. Over the course of two months, our contestants work hard to prepare for this opportunity. Judges are entrusted with the power to recognize leadership, potential, and purpose, and help change the life of one young woman.
