OPTIONAL LOCAL TITLES
Want a local title?
Local titles are optional at the Emissary Pageants International Congress. Many people find them
helpful when talking with potential sponsors about sponsorships. Local titles are only available with cities, counties, and small local pageant titles on them. State regional titles are not permitted. Local titles are sash only. No crown is provided and no crown may be worn with the local sash. There are 2 ways to receive a local title.
Option 1
Purchase a local title for $49 through the state office. Reach out to the state office to purchase your local title. Contact texas@epicpageants.com
Option 2
Win a local title at a partnering local pageant as part of your EPIC-sponsored local pageant prize package. These titles will match the local pageant title and come with free registration. You will still need to pay state pageant competition fees.

Some moments become memories.
Some memories become a legacy.
What began as a dream brought delegates from across the nation together in one unforgettable place. Throughout an incredible week, strangers became sisters, confidence grew stronger, laughter filled every hallway, and memories were made that will last a lifetime.
Every interview...
Every rehearsal...
Every act of service...
Every walk across the stage...
Every hug, every happy tear, every celebration...
This was more than a pageant.
It was a week of discovering strengths, building lifelong friendships, celebrating one another, and becoming part of something bigger than ourselves.
To every delegate, family member, coach, volunteer, judge, sponsor, and supporter—thank you for making the 2026 EPIC National Pageant an unforgettable experience. Your passion, kindness, and belief in our mission are what make this organization so special.
To our newly crowned 2026 National Queens—your journey is just beginning. Wear your crowns with humility, lead with purpose, serve with your whole heart, and continue inspiring others through unshakeable confidence, sisterhood, service, and leadership.
As we look back on these incredible moments, we`re reminded that the greatest victories aren`t measured by the crowns we wear, but by the lives we touch along the way.
Thank you, Phoenix, for an amazing week.
The memories will last forever.
The sisterhood will never end.
This is EPIC.
This is family.
This is where confidence becomes a legacy.
💜 Be EPIC.
