Miss America 2024

Miss America 2024 was the 96th Miss America pageant, held at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, Florida, alongside the Miss America's Teen 2024 competition, on January 14, 2024.

Grace Stanke of Wisconsin crowned her successor Madison Marsh of Colorado at the end of the event.

Background
Miss America 2024 was the 96th installment of the pageant, but the 102nd Miss America anniversary. For the 2024 competition, the age limits to compete were raised to between 18 and 28. Contestants must also be a United States resident or citizen, and meet the particular residency requirements of the states, municipalities, and districts they represent.

As part of changes made at the Miss America Scholarship Program by new CEO Robin Fleming in 2023, all state competitions and the Miss America Competition held a fitness competition segment, and contestants were allowed to choose between competing in the talent competition or a speech competition called "HER Story." The talent competition had previously been required since 1938. The 2024 competition was the first Miss America competition since 2018 where contestants competed in a fitness category.

U.S. state contests occurred during the spring and summer of 2023.

Contestants
51 contestants competed for the title.
