USPA Queen Pageant Update

​

We are saddened to announce that the USPA Queen Pageant did not take place in 2025 due to a lack of interest. While this was a difficult decision, we remain hopeful and committed to reviving this cherished tradition in 2026—with your help!

​

The USPA Queen Pageant has long been a meaningful opportunity for young women in our Polish-American community to celebrate their heritage, grow in confidence, and serve as proud ambassadors of polka culture. It’s more than a crown—it’s a chance to make lifelong memories and meaningful connections.

​

To ensure the success of next year’s pageant, we encourage all eligible young ladies to consider participating and for families, friends, and community members to support and share the opportunity. Let’s work together to inspire the next generation of USPA royalty!

​

We are pleased to share that registration forms and detailed guidelines will be posted on our website shortly. Below are the eligibility requirements for the two age divisions:
