Please ensure you provide us with your airport preference in the Miss USA.com Contestants’ Portal.
Schedule
After our 2021 retreat to the gorgeous NIZUC resort, we listened to the suggestions of some of our state titleholders as well as other attendees. This year we are providing a little more down-time for our state titleholders while in Cancun. Since the MISS Academy is providing on-line training for all of our state titleholders, limited training will be conducted while in Cancun. This allows for more free time for our state titleholders to relax.
We will post a detailed schedule of all NIZUC activities in the Contestant section on the Miss USA website.
Photoshoot
We will be conducting the Miss USA state titleholders’ photoshoots for the website and program magazine while we are in Cancun.

The Miss USA Organization will be conducting a 2022 State Titleholder Orientation on Wednesday, May 25th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Central Time in preparation for our 2022 Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Pageants later this year. In addition to the May 25th orientation, we will be conducting two more sessions after May 25th and we request that you attend one of the sessions. Because we have so many important topics to discuss, we would prefer that you attend the first session following your crowning. Attending the earliest session possible provides you with more time for preparation.
