Instead of the usual September slot, the 2020 Miss America pageant will be at Mohegan Sun Casino & Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut on Thursday, Dec. 19.
The Atlantic City-based Miss America Organization promises changes to the pageant format as part of the move. Traditionally, Miss America had been broadcast from Boardwalk Hall, its home for decades.

The pageant was founded in 1921 by Atlantic City businessmen as a way to keep people on the boardwalk past Labor Day. Miss America remained in the city until 2006, when the event left New Jersey for Las Vegas. In 2013, the pageant returned to Atlantic City, lured by a generous subsidy package from the state Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.
But internal pageant controversy and criticism of state support for the pageant set the stage for the event to leave Atlantic City once again.

Miss America’s relocation to the holiday season and Connecticut also comes with a change in network and the day of the week.
While ABC had broadcast the pageant for years, most recently Sundays in September, Miss America is now headed back to NBC, which last carried the pageant in 1996.
The 2020 Miss America pageant will air at 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 19 on NBC. The reigning Miss America, Nia Franklin, who in September 2018 became the fourth Miss New York to win in six years, will crown her successor.

The reigning Miss New Jersey, Jade Glab, hails from Belmar. Glab, 20, won an award for onstage interview on the first night of preliminary competition.
This year also marked the first time the titles of Miss USA (North Carolina’s Cheslie Kryst), Miss Teen USA (Connecticut’s Kaliegh Garris), Miss Universe (South Africa’s Zozibini Tunzi) and Miss America were all won by black women.
The announcement of Miss America’s second move out of Atlantic City came after the last event, when the pageant was roiled by conflict among Miss America leadership, supporters and volunteers. The controversy grew out of divided opinions over the swimsuit competition, dissatisfaction with new pageant leaders, bullying allegations and Miss America’s financial instability.

Gretchen Carlson, former chairwoman of the Miss America board of directors, and pageant CEO Regina Hopper presided over the pageant’s decision to nix the swimsuit competition in June 2018. The elimination of that portion of competition rocked and divided the Miss America community. Pageant volunteers and contestants criticized the organization’s leadership.
A group of state pageant directors called for the resignation of Carlson and Hopper, and so did a group of former Miss Americas. Some accused Carlson, Miss America 1989 — who previously sued her former Fox News boss Roger Ailes for sexual harassment — of conflating the #MeToo movement with the pageant.
Others did not appreciate the rebranding of the pageant to what was called Miss America 2.0. The effort to modernize Miss America ahead of its big centennial recast the event as an empowerment tool and scholarship resource for women that, according to organizers, is no longer focused on physical appearance.

Carlson did resign in June, but another swimsuit-related conflict opened old wounds in September. The Miss America Organization had to apologize after a donor explained as part of an announcement about a new scholarship that her parents hadn’t wanted her to compete in the pageant because they believed “an educated woman does not parade around in a swimsuit.” Former contestants and titleholders, including Mund, took offense to the remark, having competed in previous swimsuit competitions.
An earlier controversy involving Miss America leaders centered on the misogynistic and offensive content of leaked emails from the former CEO, Sam Haskell, who was ousted in 2017.
Aside from all of the internal pageant strife, Miss America faced uncertainty about the pageant’s future in Atlantic City. For six years, the state and city devoted resources to the event with the hope that it would provide an economic benefit to the area, but a state audit questioned that support.

Under the three-year deal that brought Miss America back to Atlantic City in 2013, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority paid $6, 801, 000 to cover pageant costs. In 2016, the CRDA greenlit a second three-year contract for Miss America, giving the pageant $12, 536, 000, or 80% more than the first contract.
A state audit of the CRDA released after the 2018 pageant (which crowned Miss America 2019) said the authority failed to monitor costs and contracts relating to the event. The audit also said that the CRDA did not commission another economic impact study before giving the pageant more money.

Second question: Should children and marriage be a part of Miss America’s life? Both are banned for contestants in the pageant right now. They both say Miss America should remain single. Victoria goes as far as saying Miss America should not date or be in a relationship. Very traditional. (Note: More than one recent Miss America has gone on to marry her significant other not long after her reign, meaning lots of secret dating!)
