Miss Orlando

The Miss Orlando has been a staple of the Orlando community since 1933, serving as an official preliminary to the Miss Florida and Miss America. In January 2023, Makaila Nichols was named the incoming Executive Director of the Miss Orlando Scholarship Competition. Later that year, Nichols took over the program as the current Executive Director, following the announced retirement of then Executive Director, David Wheeler, heading into the 2023/24 competition season. Wheeler continues to serve as Ex Officio/Advisor and Historian for the organization, providing valuable insights and guidance to the team.

The Miss Orlando 2024 will be held on February 11, 2024, returning to the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

At the end of the event, Miss Orlando 2023 Madison Zavitz will crown her successor.
