If you are attending the Miss America Pageant and would like to purchase a badge for visitation with Miss Kentucky after each night of the pageant and also to gain entry to attend pageant rehearsals and the Miss America Trade Show (featuring pageant vendors from across the country) you may do so this year through the Miss Kentucky Organization. It is a two step process so please review the instructions listed below:
STEP 1: PURCHASING YOUR BADGE
Badge prices are $40 if order received by July 22nd. If you wish to purchase a badge after this date the price will be $55 per badge. You can purchase badges through PayPal or by credit/debit card by clicking the Donation link below. Make sure you enter in the "Item Price" box the correct dollar amount equaling the number of badges you wish to purchase. So for example if you are purchasing three badges you would enter 120.00 or five badges enter 200.00. This way you can pay via a single transaction instead of having to purchase each badge separately.
If for whatever reason you are unable to purchase your badge via PayPal then you must mail a check for your badge to Jamie Breeding at 3284 Shoal Lake Drive, Lexington KY 40515. In order to receive the $40 badge price you MUST make sure that it is received on or before July 22nd.
STEP 2: BADGE REQUEST & PHOTO SUBMISSION
Once you have submitted your payment the second step is to email your request for a badge to .
In your email you must include all of the following or your request will not be processed: your name (or a listing of names if ordering multiple badges), your affiliation or relationship to the program (see listing below) and a photo of yourself (head shot, cropped as you want it to appear).
The photo must be attached to the email saved in a .jpg format. If you are unsure how to convert a previously saved photo into a .jpg file you may send the photo in a separate email and we can try and convert it for you. If you have attended the Miss America Pageant in either 2013 or 2014 your ID photo should still be on file with Miss America so simply indicate that on your email instead unless you want an updated photo for your badge.
Anyone having questions or issues in completing both steps should contact Justin Rains at or by phone after 5 PM at for assistance.
