Dear Miss Candidates,

Welcome to the 2026 Miss Northeast Florida Scholarship Competition! We are beyond excited to have you join us for this special event and look forward to witnessing the remarkable qualities each of you will bring to the stage.

This competition is about so much more than winning a title—it’s about growth, leadership, and the positive impact you make within your community. As a candidate, you have the opportunity to showcase your talent, intelligence, and dedication to the causes you’re most passionate about.

You’ll participate in several phases of competition, including Interview, On-Stage Conversation, Fitness, Talent, and Evening Gown. Each phase is designed to highlight your individuality, confidence, and personal strengths.

Most importantly, we encourage you to embrace every moment with grace and joy. This journey will open doors to lasting friendships, unforgettable memories, and incredible personal growth.

Remember, this is your time to shine. Stay true to yourself, lift up those around you, and take pride in the woman you are becoming. Your journey to Miss Florida begins here — and we invite you to experience everything that makes this program so special. It’s more than a crown and sash; it’s a sisterhood and a celebration of purpose, poise, and passion.

With excitement and encouragement,

The Miss Northeast Florida Team 🌟
