ATTEND THE CORONATION
"Usually, our judges must quickly select Miss Earth USA based on one week of performances," said National Director Laura Clark. "This extended format not only allows judges more time to evaluate the candidates, we are also afforded more time to showcase the talents and diversity of many of our top candidates. These women are overcoming great obstacles and accomplishing life changing milestones, and it will all be captured on the QBN original series."
In the most recent edition, Beatrice Millan-Windorski of Wisconsin placed in the Top 4 internationally, awarding her the title of Miss Earth Water 2024. Windorski will continue her advocacy for climate refugee legislation and assistance around the globe for people displaced by natural disasters.
