Do I have to have children?
No. Having children is not one of the basic requirements for entry. In the
last 7 years 57% of the Mrs. Kansas' had children and 43% did not.
Am I too old to win - Am I too young to win?
The judges are looking for a beautiful, well rounded, articulate woman. In the
last 7 years 36% of the top five have been in their 20’s, 40% in their 30’s,
and 24% in their 40’s. Of the last 7 winners, 43% were in their 20's, 43% were
in their 30's and 14% were in their 40's.
Is there a height requirement?
There is no height requirement to enter or win. Our state winners have ranged
in heights from 4’11 to 6’.
I’ve never entered a pageant before; do I have a chance to win?
Yes. It truly depends on the individual. Every one is given a fair opportunity
to win!
What kind of woman enters the pageant?
Mrs. America attracts women of all ages, vocations, and backgrounds. There are
auto mechanics and aeronautical engineers, doctors and lawyers, aspiring
models and actresses, wives and mothers, as well as traditional homemakers.
The one thing they all have in common is that they are married and have an
eagerness to compete.
Do you have to be married a certain number of years to win?
No. We have had winners who have been married as little as 7 months and as
long as 18 years.
Do I need a performing talent?
No. We believe that being married is talent enough.
Will I be judged on community service?
No. Realistically most married women are extremely busy with their careers and
families; they are contributing to the community by virtue of serving their
own families.
Is there an entry fee?
Yes. We encourage our city and county titleholders to raise the entry fee in
their communities. After all they have been exclusively selected to represent
the married women in their areas. The entry fee covers the cost of doing
business such as renting a theatrical facility, designing sets and music, as
well as printing, advertising and phone expenses. Space is provided in the
official program book to recognize 10 of your supporters.
