USofA Pageants, LLC. extends its deepest regards to everyone in this time of global crisis. It is our hope that we all can actually avoid coming together physically, but instead, emotionally unite and make our way through this pandemic, healthy and safe…and together.

We look forward to coming out of this difficult and isolating time to resume a life, though likely changed somewhat, but nevertheless, a life that we recognize with renewed strength and conviction. As a nation, we have work to do and USofA Pageants, LLC. encourages you to continue your efforts to make your voice heard…and challenges you to motivate those around you to do the same. We must all vote. We must all be active. We must all demand excellence from each other and our nation. And in doing so, we hope you’ll come out of this experience with an even greater hunger to chase your ambitions. 

We’ve given considerable thought to the timeline for Miss Gay USofA Classic and Miss Gay USofA 2020 being mindful of the economic setbacks we all are facing currently and wanted to afford everyone time to recover and time to make arrangements. Miss Gay USofA Classic and Miss Gay USofA has been cancelled as a result of the pandemic. The dates for Miss Gay USofA Classic and Miss Gay USofA 2021 will be May 23-28, 2021.  The venues and schedule of the week remain the same as in the past. 

Those that have purchased tickets for Miss Gay USofA 2020 Final Night, your seats will be reserved for Miss Gay USofA 2021 Final Night and the tickets will be available for pick-up at the front door of Station 4, May 23-27, 2021 and at the front door at the Southside Ballroom on My 28, 2021. Should you have any questions, please email [email protected]. 

Contestants that have qualified for Miss Gay USofA Classic 2020 or Miss Gay USofA 2020 will now be competing at Miss Gay USofA Classic 2021 or Miss Gay USofA 2021, please begin looking at these dates and coordinating with your teams, and adjusting your travel plans. Our intention is to allow sufficient time for you to prepare for the national pageant. 

Promoters needing to reschedule your prelims, please stay in touch with the national office. We hope with this extension that you may be able to reschedule your contests that have recently been pulled from the calendar.  

We will support your efforts as well during this transition. Looking ahead, USofA Pageants, LLC. will remain vigilant in our efforts to create a competitive and diverse platform for entertainers, artists, and promoters to elevate pageantry, and we will continue doing so with all of you in mind. Our thoughts are with all of you during these difficult times.

Miss Gay USofA 2020 & Miss Gay USofA Classic 2020 has been postponed.

Since the first Miss Gay USofA pageant in the late 1980s, USofA Pageants, LLC has always placed a priority on the well-being of our entertainers, contestants, promoters, supporters, and fans by making allowances when their well-being prevents them from attending the national pageant.

We have been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic closely. After extensive and careful deliberations, we have decided to postpone both the Miss Gay USofA 2020 and Miss Gay USofA Classic 2020 national pageants that were scheduled to be held in May 2020. We do not make this decision lightly and are aware that it may cause some hardships on our entertainers, contestants, promoters, supporters, and fans.
However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have chosen to put the well-being of everyone involved before the selection of our new titleholders.

We are consulting with our host hotel, Station 4, and the Southside Ballroom to determine options for when we can reschedule the national pageant(s). Numerous events have been postponed and all are trying to reschedule, so we are asking for everyone’s patience while we determine when we can hold our events.

We wish that the postponement of our national pageants was not necessary, however, the well-being of everyone involved in our pageants is of our highest concern.

Sincerely,
Jerry Bird
CEO/Chairman

What does this mean to you?

I am an entertainer who was supposed to perform this year.
If you are an entertainer who was scheduled to perform at the pageant(s), we will be in contact
with you to discuss rescheduling when the national pageant(s) have been rescheduled.

I qualified for the national pageant, what do I do now?
If you are a contestant who has qualified to attend the pageant(s), please continue to prepare for
the national pageant when it is scheduled.

I already purchased my tickets for final night of Miss Gay USofA 2020.
The USofA Pageants, LLC national office will be contacting you by phone as soon as the
pageant is rescheduled to discuss your ticket purchase with you.

I am a promoter who has not held my pageant or my pageant has been postponed.
Please work with your venue to determine if your pageant can be held at a later time. As long as
your pageant is held prior to the national pageant(s), your contestants will be able to attend the
national pageant(s).

I am a promoter who has already held my pageant.
Please make sure your qualified contestants are aware of the postponement and work with them
to ensure they are ready for the national competition when it is rescheduled.

I have purchased my airline tickets already.
Please contact the airline directly to see about rescheduling your flight. Many airlines are
allowing rescheduling options. For example, Southwest Airlines will allow you to use the funds
used to pay for the ticket for another flight for up to 12 months from the date of original
