“The American Queen system is for the woman who feels strongly about the community and her family. This organization is such a positive force that it was no mistake TFTJ.com voted the American Queen pageant the best pageant to compete in two years in a row! I feel very lucky and honored to have worn the title Mrs. American Queen 2007 and I will forever hold the values of the pageant system close to me….  Words can't explain how much I feel this pageant. …  The whole week proved to be one of the most rewarding and memorable times I've ever had.  I am a veteran in the pageant world with 12 years of experience( including in the MAO system) ,and I can honestly say, this has been the best one I've ever competed in!"

"The American Queen Pageant is a system that is truly a step above. The memories and friendships I have made will last a lifetime, and the prestige of carying the Miss American Queen title follows me everywhere!"

Jacinta Devlin, Miss American Queen 2007

 

"…I can't say enough how much I LOVED this pageant.  In my opinion with DASH it's not just going out and giving speeches that contact and raise awareness but everyday contact with young people brings up dating topics in which you can include DASH info  …as college students the MISS title holders have a tremendous amount of opportunity at their fingers."

Deanna Chambers, Miss North Carolina American Queen 2008

 

"6 years ago I "retired" from pageantry.  I truly thought there was no way I would ever compete again; but The Message, the Morals and the Mission of The American Queen Pageant drew me out of "retirement".  And how thankful I am,  for now I am An American Queen; Now and for Always. I can only hope to bring as much Pride to my Director's as I represent their crown as they have brought to me with the opportunity to wear it."

 Maria Alaina Langlois  Ms American Queen 2008

 

"Thank you so much for inviting me to judge the National American Queen Pageant. It  was an amazing   fun and learning experience. … this pageant was unique and very rewarding at the same time .I learned a great deal. 
While interviewing the candidates, I was truly moved by their dedication and devotion for the cause of domestic abuse prevention.  I was so moved by the whole experience. Thanks again ,you are very special people to organize such a special pageant."

Rita Monte, National Judge, 2008 American Queen Pageant

 

" This pageant was one of the most memorable things that has ever happened to me. Everyone was so nice all of the ladies and the AQ staff! I'm just so excited to spend my year with such great women and the amazing AQ family…. Just remember its not about winning -- its about the experience!"

Ericka Samoorian, Miss Teen American Queen 2008

 

"I was the 2008 first runner up in the Ms. category, but was already a winner from the moment I arrived…Mia, the 2008 Ms. titleholder has a beautiful heart and will do wonderful things with the title. I am very blessed to have met her. My work will continue with DASH and with this organization There can only be one titleholder, but there are never-ending possibilities to be role models and positive influences on people. I came into this pageant as me and left as me. Women who choose to compete must understand that it is the way we conduct ourselves on and off the stage that demonstrate success. These amazing women who won the titles will be remembered for how they conducted themselves and what they did to better the lives of those they touched. …Each of us has that opportunity to "win" in that way, and that is exactly how I saw it with my experience with the American Queen Pageant."

Megan Hart-Macy, Ms. New Jersey American Queen 2008

 

"The American Queen Pageant system, Director Connie Wallace, her family and staff make the state and national pageants a cut above other systems.  Honesty, integrity and fairness reign supreme.  As a competitor, you will experience stress-free rehearsals, gracious judges, and a professional, high quality theater production.  Whether you are a new or seasoned competitor, I highly recommend American Queen to you.  I promise you'll have the time of your life!"

Sheila Klein, Ms. Classic American Queen 2007
