Miss America may be leaving Atlantic City … again
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Miss America may be leaving Atlantic City again.
The Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News report the Miss America Organization is looking for cities around the country interested in hosting the competition.
The newspapers obtained the group’s call for proposals from interested cities via a public records request to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. The authority’s contract with Miss America has expired.
The authority contributed $12 million to the organization over the past three years, but it has not reached a deal on Miss America’s funding requests for the 2020 and 2021 pageants.
A request for comment was sent to the Miss America Organization on Tuesday.
The pageant originated in Atlantic City nearly 100 years ago. It moved to Las Vegas in 2006 and returned to New Jersey in 2013.
