Recognizing the Queens and Organizations Shaping the Future of Pageantry
The PageantPrints Rising Star Award honors standout delegates who are elevating pageantry through exceptional branding, social media presence, and visual storytelling.

Open to pageant organizations nominating a standout contestant from their system.
What Is the PageantPrints Rising Star Award?
Created to give back to the pageant organizations that have supported PageantPrints from the beginning, the Rising Star Award was first introduced last year as a special recognition for delegates making a real impact in the industry.
This award celebrates contestants who are not just competing, but helping shape the look, feel, and online presence of modern pageantry through creativity, consistency, confidence, and standout digital presentation.
We’re expanding the program this year and opening nominations for 5 awards to be presented at selected events in 2026.
What Selected Organizations Will Receive
If selected, the award and scholarship will be shipped directly to the director for presentation at the event.
