International United Miss (IUM) is more than a pageant — it’s a movement. We are a national and international scholarship pageant system focused on recognizing the accomplishments, service, and authenticity of today’s young women. At IUM, we’re redefining beauty by celebrating what makes you genuine, impactful, and unforgettable. With a strong emphasis on sisterhood and personal growth, we empower our delegates to shine on stage and off.

Our national and international titleholders are selected through a comprehensive scoring system designed to find the most well-rounded, authentic brand ambassador for IUM.
Each contestant competes in three required categories:

Personal Interview (35%)

Evening Gown (20%)

Fun Fashion (20%)

On-Stage Introduction (Elevator Pitch) (15%)

Community Service (10%)

Our judging panel is trained to recognize natural confidence, authenticity, and communication skills, choosing winners who embody the spirit of International United Miss. We’re looking for role models — not perfection. If you’re kind, driven, and ready to make an impact, this stage was built for you.

Each of our International United Miss winners receives an incredible prize package that includes:

A custom rhinestone crown and official IUM embroidered sash

$2,000 Cash scholarships

Photoshoots and professional headshots

Travel opportunities across the country including 5 royalty trips & multiple state pageants

Brand ambassador deals with sponsors

Exclusive sisterhood experiences throughout the year including a 6 day 5 night all inclusive tropical vacation

And so much more — valued at thousands of dollars!

It’s not just about the prizes — it’s about the memories, mentorship, and moments you’ll carry for a lifetime.

We welcome girls and women from all over the world across the following age divisions:

Princess (5–7)

Junior Preteen (8–10)

Preteen (11–13)

Junior Teen (14–16)

Teen (17–19)

Miss (20–24)

Ms. (25+)

There’s no experience required — just a passion to grow, connect, and serve.

At IUM, service isn’t just encouraged — it’s celebrated. Our motto, Be H.E.R.O.I.C. (Honesty, Empathy, Respect, Optimism, Integrity, and Community), guides everything we do.
This year alone, our 2025 delegates have completed over 20,000 hours of community service — and counting!

When you wear an IUM crown, you’re not just winning a title — you’re joining a movement of changemakers.

The magic of IUM goes far beyond the stage! During Internationals Week, delegates and families enjoy:

Catered themed dinner parties

The famous IUM Mom Pageant (fan favorite!)

A variety of optional competitions like photogenic, talent, spokesmodel, and casual wear — where contestants win over $20,000 in cash prizes and awards

And moments that become lifelong memories

It’s more than a competition — it’s a celebration of who you are and who you’re becoming.
