Miss Rodeo America Competition at Las Vegas during the 2024 NFR

The Miss Rodeo America competition, a highlight during the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), is a showcase of poise, personality, and horsemanship. Contestants from each state vie for the coveted title, embodying the spirit and grace of the rodeo queen tradition.
Contestants in the Miss Rodeo America competition are judged across a spectrum of criteria. These include horsemanship skills, personality, appearance, and their ability to articulate their knowledge of the sport and its traditions. The competition seeks an individual who not only represents her state with pride but also epitomizes the values and ideals of the rodeo community.
To compete on the Miss Rodeo America stage, contestants must first clinch the title in their respective states. This involves a rigorous process of local competitions and demonstrates the dedication and skill required to represent their state at the national level.
The Miss Rodeo America competition is upheld by the support of longtime sponsors, whose commitment ensures the continued success and prestige of the event. These sponsors play a vital role in providing scholarships and opportunities for the contestants, fostering education and leadership within the rodeo community.
Over the years, the list of Miss Rodeo America winners reads like a chronicle of rodeo royalty. These accomplished women not only wear the crown with grace but also contribute to the promotion and preservation of rodeo heritage. Their reign extends beyond the NFR, as they become ambassadors for the sport, exemplifying the ideals of Miss Rodeo America with dignity and authenticity.
