The Miss Florida competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Florida in the Miss America pageant. Florida has twice won the Miss America crown.
In the fall of 2018, the Miss America Organization terminated Miss Florida organization's license as well as licenses from Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia.[1][2] In December 2018, the Miss America Organization reinstated licensing for the Miss Florida Scholarship Pageant Inc., along with the organizations in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia.[3]
Juliette Ashley Valle of Plantation, Florida, was crowned Miss Florida 2023 on June 24, 2023, at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Florida. She competed in the Miss America 2024 pageant at the Walt Disney Theatre at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, where she made history as the first contestant to deliver a bilingual answer during the Onstage Question portion. Valle achieved a Top 10 placement, with the 11th spot on finals night awarded to the People’s Choice Award recipient.
