Our Story
More Than a Crown — A Calling
Since 2010, we have believed that a pageant should leave every woman stronger, more purposeful, and more equipped — regardless of where she places. That conviction is the foundation of everything we do.
Our Mission
Empowering Women of Virtue Through Faith, Purpose & Entrepreneurship
The Proverbs 31 Beauty Pageant is a full lifestyle transformation system for women ages 18–70 across all 50 states. We integrate entrepreneurship training, community service, and faith development directly into the competition experience — making every contestant a business owner and a winner, regardless of placement.
Our national reach, IPSC-certified leadership, and an accessible $50 registration fee ensure that no woman is left behind on her path to purpose, confidence, and entrepreneurial success.
98% of our contestants are still in business 5 years after competing.

How We Score
What We Actually Judge
We score what matters most — service, readiness, and confidence — not a narrow standard of beauty.
50%
Community Impact & Service
More than any other factor, we reward women who lead, serve, and uplift their communities. This is the heart of the crown.
30%
Entrepreneurship & Business Readiness
Contestants are scored on their business plan, completed training modules, and marketing strategy — not just ambition, but execution.
20%
Beauty, Confidence & Presentation
Poise, grooming, and stage presence matter — but they are never the whole story. A woman's crown is carried in her heart.
