Welcome
This pageant is brought to you by the same directors that have produced Tropical Dream Stars USA for the last 11 years! Welcome to the TDS sister pageant, America’s Grand Miss National! AGM is very different from TDS but we feel you will enjoy it just as much! We welcome each and every one of you! This will be an exciting year, as we crown our 2008 National Grand Royalty! You may compete in beauty and your choice of optionals to qualify for the supreme titles! We are very proud to guarantee lots of cash prizes and top quality custom created LOGO crowns! Our crowns are breathtaking! We do not pro-rate. All prizes are guaranteed, no matter how many contestants! Our judges will be looking for a beautiful face. Please note that anyone may compete and win at AGM, because expensive glitz attire is not what our judges are looking for. This is not a natural pageant system, styled hair and make up is absolutely allowed and should flatter the contestant based on age. Please call should you have any questions!

Martha Michaud
Executive National Director
