Miss Spirit of Missouri is a brand new division for the Miss Missouri Volunteer Organization and is held the same weekend as the Miss Missouri Volunteer pageant. This is a separate pageant from Miss Missouri Volunteer! The winner will have the opportunity to spend the year making appearances with our titleholders. In addition she will win the following:

  • Entry fee for Miss Missouri USA or another national pageant of comparable cost

  • Pageant Prep with our Board of Directors and sponsors

  • Official Crown and Sash

Stages of Competition:

Miss Spirit of Missouri is comprised of three stages of competition:

  • Interview - 1/3 of score

    • 2-4 minute private interview with our judging panel.

  • Evening Gown - 1/3 of score

    • Contestants are judged not on the gown chosen, but how they carry themselves in the gown with poise, stage presence, and elegance.

  • Active Wear - 1/3 of score

    • Spirit contestants will wear a swimsuit of their choice and will be judged on their physical health and an active lifestyle.
