"As Miss American Liberty 2026, I have two causes this year, for which I am deeply passionate about promoting. The first is bringing greater awareness to Medication-Resistant Anxiety and Depression and discussing solutions for this challenge that is plaguing the United States and the rest of the world. My hope is to create meaningful online and in-person experiences that inspire and support individuals who suffer from Anxiety and Depression. And, I aim to connect individuals to better treatment resources throughout the United States. My second great cause is supporting programs that help U.S. Military Veterans obtain the appropriate levels of PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression treatments they need in order to live their best lives after serving our nation and protecting our liberty as U.S. Citizens." --Amy Carpenter of Texas

All fees, Ad Pages, and Ticket Sales revenue go to required production costs. Thousands of hours of volunteer time go into production by many selfless community advocates in our State, Territory, and National Teams. We are so grateful for everyone's service and contribution to such great pageant programs, which focus on providing opportunities for women to develop greater self-confidence, grace, public speaking abilities, leadership skills, and many talents, while making the world a truly better place for humanity.
1. Evening Gown: 25% of your total score
2. Judge's Interview: 40% of your total score.
3. Swimsuit -or- Fitness Wear: 25% of your total score.
Contestants will be judged on poise, overall appearance, and beauty, with the emphasis on stage presence, confidence, and positive energy. How does this Contestant carry herself on-stage? Are her smile and energy magnetic?
4. On-stage Question: 5% of your total score.
5. State Costume: 5% towards final pageant's overall scoring. Separate awards & prizes will be given before final crowning.
IMPORTANT: Contestants will be judged on their poise, presentation of costume, stage-presence, how they carry themselves (modeling/walk/smile/energy), and how they highlight their costumes. SEPARATE awards will be given for the COSTUMES themselves (which will go towards separate Costume Awards & Prizes, but will have no bearing on the Contestant's total pageant score itself).
