2018 Miss America Cara Mund
From evening wear to talent competitions, there are several elements that make up Miss America. However on Tuesday, they have decided to leave the iconic swimwear competition in the past.
Gretchen Carlson, the chairwoman of Miss America’s board of directors, announced on Good Morning America that there will be a shift in focus on the contestants’ physical beauty. “We are no longer a pageant; we are a competition,” she said.

She says that along with the swimwear, they are working on “revamping the evening gown competition” to change the entire nature of Miss America. Carlson says that the annual show will be more “open, transparent, inclusive to women who may not have felt comfortable participating in [their] program before.”
While scholarship and talent have always been a part of Miss America, Carlson shares that those elements will have a bigger role in future competitions.
