If you have any issues with reserving your room under the group rate, please let me know ASAP, so that I can attempt to have more rooms added. Our group rate is valid for Thursday June 19, 2025 - Sunday June 22, 2025. The rate is $139 per night. Parking and internet are free. We worked hard to negotiate this rate and ensure it is the most cost effective rate available.

NOTE ABOUT AUTHORIZED VENDORS:

You are not obligated but encouraged to use our official sponsors. These are the ONLY teams allowed backstage access to help you. As AUTHORIZED VENDORS they receive instructions on pageant preferences and rules directly from the Directorship Team. They have been vetted and tested prior to becoming AUTHORIZED VENDORS and their skill and safety standards meet or exceed our requirements. Their financial sponsorship directly contributes to the pageant experience and/or prize package and their pricing has been approved. While other vendors may be cheaper and willing to work with you in the privacy of your room, they have not been vetted by pageant staff for safety, skill, do not have the same orientation benefit and they are not contributing to the pageant's success or prize package. If you have a vendor you want considered for the list below, they may contact the National Office at 210-920-5735 or info@epicpageants.com to go through the process of becoming an authorized vendor. Choosing to utilize a AUTHORIZED VENDOR is to your best advantage as a competitor and future winner.

Young miss United States Emissary, Addyson posted this on Facebook and we just had to share…
Sometimes you just have to help change. 

Wearing glasses can sometimes hurt you in pageantry. It shouldn’t but most feel they need to take their glasses off to hit the stage. 

A few months ago I decided I was competing with my glasses on. Take it or leave it is how I felt. I am me and my glasses are apart of who I am. 

I am so thankful for the systems that love you for who you are.  Emissary Pageants International Congress - #EPICPageants is one of those systems. 

Being legally blind, my glasses help me not only see the world but see the stage and the judges. 

So girls if you wear glasses, I challenge you to wear them with pride!!! Let me see your pics wearing your glasses.

One of the things that makes EPIC so special is we allow and encourage our national Queens to continue to compete during their reign. We are so proud of Serenity for stepping out of her comfort zone and pursuing her lifelong dream of competing in the Miss America system. She took first runner-up as a teen in a local pageant. We know this is just the start for her. Way to go Serenity!
