Miss Kentucky

The Miss Kentucky competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Kentucky in the Miss America pageant.

Only once has a Miss Kentucky won the Miss America crown, in 1999 when Heather French Henry of Maysville, Kentucky earned the national Miss America 2000 title.

Additionally, Venus Ramey, a native of Somerset, Kentucky, was named Miss America of 1944 while competing as Miss Washington, DC.

Multiple Miss Kentucky titleholders have gone on to make themselves notable: Chapel Tinius of Bowling Green was crowned Miss Kentucky 2024 on June 15, 2024, at the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center in Bowling Green.
