Miss America Pageant A group of 53 beauty queens picked from around the country for their smiles, struts and interview savvy were set to woo a panel of judges in hopes of winning the Miss America 2010 crown. The young women from all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico will cap a week of preliminary competition with the scheduled crowning of a winner Saturday night in Las Vegas. The winner, crowned by reigning Miss America Katie Stam, gets a $50000 scholarship and embarks on a yearlong run with the title to represent the organization and raise awareness for her chosen platform.
