Title Selection at IJM

At International Junior Miss, delegates have the opportunity to represent a home state, region, or country as well as their cultural heritage. As part of your application, you will be asked to select your top three title preferences, in order. We will assign your first choice, if available. If not, we will proceed to your second or third choice. In the rare case that all three are unavailable, we’ll contact you directly to secure an alternate title.

You may choose from the following types of titles:

State or Province Titles (e.g., Miss Texas, Miss Ontario)
State or Province Nickname Titles (e.g., Miss Lone Star State, Miss Golden State)
Regional Titles (e.g., Miss Gulf Coast, Miss Southern States)
Heritage-Based Titles (e.g., Miss Puerto Rico, Miss Korea)

New for 2025–2026: If you select a heritage title, you will be asked to share your connection to that country for approval.

Is there a benefit to selecting a heritage or country title?
There’s no “sash factor” at IJM. In fact, we don’t wear sashes during competition at all! Choosing a heritage-based title should be a genuine reflection of your identity. If it’s not something you are truly connected to or confident speaking about, it can actually work against you - especially in interview, where your title may be part of the conversation. Keep in mind that IJM includes many truly international delegates, so it’s best to represent what you know, love, and connect with most.

Please also note:

Continent titles are not permitted (e.g., Miss Europe, Miss North America)
We do not appoint a “Miss United States” title; instead, applicants represent individual states.

Take time to choose titles that reflect your identity and connection, and list your top three choices carefully. Title selection is an important step in your IJM journey!

What Other Costs Should I Plan For?

We do offer a variety of Optional Contests. These contests are priced from $75 to $150 an entry.

We also offer photo and video packages. Pricing is set by our vendors. Our '24-'25 Photo Packages were all-inclusive and were priced at $295. Our '24-'25 Video Package, which included all areas of competition including Interview, were priced at $275. We offered all-inclusive streaming packages for $50. Our '25-'26 pricing will be similar and we will announce exact vendors and pricing closer to the event.

When planning your pageant budget, you should also factor in the cost of your travel and accommodations. We will offer a special discounted rooming rate with our Host Hotel but these accommodations will be made on your own. You should also plan for your meals throughout the event, your wardrobe, and other incidentals.
