Welcome to
Emissary Pageants International Congress
Where Unshakeable Confidence, Sisterhood, Service,
and Leadership come together!
At Emissary Pageants International Congress (EPIC), we are dedicated to setting a new benchmark in a fiercely competitive world. Our mission is to empower delegates with the invaluable opportunity to serve as ambassadors for their hometowns, states, and nations, fostering leadership on a global platform. With a focus on cultivating Unshakable Confidence, our delegates form an unbreakable bond within a worldwide sisterhood, prioritizing personal growth and community service.
We believe in a culture where competition is transformed into collaboration. Delegates showcase their best selves alongside their friends, emphasizing camaraderie over rivalry. Each delegate is celebrated for her unique contributions and the inspiring endeavors she champions within her community.
As advocates for positive change, our delegates undertake impactful projects, driving meaningful transformation. Through collective effort, the EPIC Family harnesses the power of service and leadership, leaving a lasting impact on communities worldwide.

Mentorship is EPIC! Helping the Miss Lake Whitney Pageant has been a huge pleasure. The EPIC Director, Texas Emissary Director and Mrs United States Emissary converged from all over Texas and all pitched in on the judging panel and provided templates, resources and expert advice on a number of important things in an effort to help this pageant have a successful first event. Congratulations to first time director Amy Teal and her new court of queens! We look forward to providing ongoing support over the next year as you grow your program.

💜 Missing My EPIC Girls! 💜
Some pictures just make you smile—and then make you realize how much you miss everyone in them.
I’m missing my EPIC girls today. The crowns and sashes may be what brought us together, but it’s the laughter, hugs, inside jokes, adventures, cheering each other on, and friendships that make this sisterhood so special.
EPIC was never meant to be just another pageant. It was created to be a place where women and girls could belong, grow, serve, lead, and make memories together. Looking at this photo reminds me that we really have created something special. 💜👑
To every EPIC queen, delegate, ambassador, mom, sister, and friend who has become part of this family—I miss your faces!
Who else is ready for the first EPIC reunion? 🙋♀️💜
