GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL?
YOU’VE BEEN RECOMMENDED. ARE YOU READY TO BECOME EPIC?
Someone believes you have what it takes to become an EPIC delegate! Your invitation to a Virtual Open Call is your opportunity to learn more about Emissary Pageants International Congress and discover if EPIC is the right fit for you.
Did You Receive a Virtual EPIC Open Call Invitation?
Yes—it’s real!
Like many pageant organizations, EPIC sends invitations to potential candidates. But there’s an important difference: our recommendations are real.
EPIC does not purchase mass mailing lists and send invitations simply because someone falls within a certain age or geographic area. If you received an EPIC invitation, someone actually recommended you as a potential candidate for our program.
That recommendation is your invitation to learn more—not an automatic acceptance. Your private Virtual Open Call gives you the opportunity to discover what EPIC is all about while giving us the opportunity to meet you and determine whether EPIC may be the right fit.
You weren’t just on a list. You were recommended. Now it’s time to discover if you’re ready to become EPIC.
If you're ready, you’ve come to the right place—this is the official information page for EPIC Virtual Open Calls.
Our Open Call gives you and your family an opportunity to meet with EPIC personally, learn about our national program, ask questions, and discover what makes the EPIC experience different.
It also gives us an opportunity to meet you. We want to learn about your personality, goals, accomplishments, interests, community involvement, and what you hope to gain from your pageant experience.
More Than a Pageant
EPIC is built around four pillars that extend far beyond the stage:
UNSHAKEABLE CONFIDENCE • LEADERSHIP • SERVICE • SISTERHOOD
Our goal is to provide an environment where delegates can strengthen their confidence and communication skills, develop leadership, make a difference through service, and build genuine friendships with women from across the country.
Whether this would be your first pageant or your next pageant, previous experience is not required. EPIC provides training and resources designed to help every delegate understand the competitions, prepare effectively, and arrive at Nationals feeling confident and ready.
What Makes EPIC Different?
- No required swimsuit competition
- No required talent competition
- A national program focused on Unshakeable Confidence, Leadership, Service & Sisterhood
- Training and preparation through our Delegate Training Series
- Opportunities to showcase your personality, accomplishments, interests and service
- Scores and feedback designed to encourage continued growth
- A supportive environment where who you are matters
- Opportunities in modeling, acting, talent, public speaking, community service and more through optional competitions
The EPIC United States

I don’t always catch every notification so when I woke up this morning to find we had FIVE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews on the Facebook Page, it just warmed my heart.
You want the inside scoop on EPIC? National Queen, @wendy_darling13 is offering to chat privately about her experience (that way, the director can’t see). Get the real unvarnished truth from her. She will tell you everything you need to know.
We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.
Today, the EPIC Pageants family joins our nation in remembering September 11, 2001.
We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who showed extraordinary courage during one of our nation’s darkest days.
We also remember what came afterward—neighbors helping neighbors, communities coming together, and a nation united through compassion, strength, and hope.
Twenty-five years later, their memory reminds us that service matters. Kindness matters. How we lead and how we care for one another matters.
Today, we set aside crowns, titles, and competition and simply stand together as Americans.
May we remember those we lost.
May we honor those who served.
May we carry forward the spirit of unity that brought our nation together.
September 11, 2001 — Never Forgotten. 🇺🇸
With remembrance,
The EPIC Pageants Family

✨👑 HERE WE GROW! EPIC IS EXPANDING IN THE NORTHEAST! 👑✨
Three states. One EPIC experience. And an incredible leader ready to help us grow!
We are proud to introduce Kimberly Grader as the EPIC Tri-State Regional Director, serving Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey!
Kimberly’s EPIC story began in 2026 when she stepped onto our stage as Ms. New York Emissary. After capturing the 2026 National Title, she knew she had found something special—a pageant home built around the values she believed in and a sisterhood she wanted to help grow.
Now, Kimberly is taking the next step in her EPIC journey—from National Queen to Regional Director! 👑
In her new role, Kimberly is excited to open doors for girls and women throughout the Northeast, creating more opportunities to compete, serve, lead, build confidence, and discover what it means to be part of the EPIC sisterhood.
With Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey coming together as the EPIC Tri-State Region, this is more than expansion—it’s another exciting chapter in the future of EPIC!
💜 New states. New opportunities. New friendships. New queens.
The road to EPIC is getting bigger, and we cannot wait to see where Kimberly leads it next!
Please help us welcome Kimberly Grader, EPIC Tri-State Regional Director!

Long before we knew how much this trip would come to mean, EPIC had already been planning something special—a Sisterhood Reunion Trip to Dollywood. 💜
It was meant to be a chance to reconnect. To laugh together. To make memories outside of competition. To bring together the queens and delegates who have helped build EPIC from our very first year to today.
Now, this trip feels more important than ever.
Dolly`s recent loss has reminded us that the greatest gift EPIC has given us isn’t a crown, a sash, a title, or a moment on stage. It’s each other.
Life moves quickly. Reigns end. Girls grow up. Families move in different directions. We always think there will be another event, another year, another opportunity to get everyone together.
So this time, we’re making the time.
🎢 The EPIC Reunion Queens’ Trip to Dollywood is happening! 👑
Every EPIC Queen.
Every EPIC Delegate.
2023–Present.
Whether you competed with us once, have been here since the beginning, currently hold a title, or are joining us for the 2027 season—you are part of this EPIC sisterhood, and you are invited.
This trip isn’t about competition. There are no scores and no judges. It’s about reuniting, laughing until our sides hurt, taking way too many pictures, riding rides, sharing meals, making new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and creating the memories we sometimes assume we’ll have time to make later.
Because sisterhood should extend far beyond pageant weekend. 💜
REGISTER NOW and join your EPIC sisters at Dollywood!
👑 Every Queen. Every Delegate. 2023–Present.
🎢 One unforgettable reunion.
💜 One EPIC family.
Because once EPIC, always EPIC.
