About our program
Miss Door County is more than a local competition – it’s a powerful platform for young women in our community to rise, lead, and inspire.
Since its founding in 1997, the Miss Door County Scholarship Program has championed the development of confident women who are community-minded leaders and destined to become changemakers in our society. We uplift these women by having awarded over $275,000 in scholarships to young women across Door County. As one of the top scholarship competitions in Wisconsin, our program provides a meaningful opportunity for participants to grow as advocates, public speakers, and trailblazers.
What began as a single event has grown into a multifaceted program, now including the Cherry Blossom Program (formerly the Princess Program, established in 2010), Miss Door County’s Teen (established in 2011), and Miss Cherryland (established in 2025) to represent the greater Northeast Wisconsin region. Each titleholder serves as a local ambassador representing her peers, promoting her chosen community service initiative, and exemplifying the values of scholarship, style, service, success, and sisterhood.
Miss Door County, Miss Door County’s Teen, and Miss Cherryland are not just titles; they are roles of purpose, impact, and leadership. These young women embody professionalism, compassion, and ambition. Through school visits, nonprofit outreach, community events, and statewide appearances, they serve as passionate advocates for their causes and role models for the next generation. They widely promote their personal community service initiatives as well as raise funds and awareness for Miss America’s national partner, the American Heart Association, because heart disease is the leading cause of death for women ages 20 and older.
Participants in our program don’t just compete - they connect with a supportive sisterhood, develop lifelong skills, and build a legacy of service and impact that extends far beyond the stage. They also have the opportunity to represent our communities at Miss Wisconsin and Miss Wisconsin’s Teen each June in New Berlin, continuing their journey within the broader Miss America Organization.
If you're ready to step into a legacy nearly 30 years strong — to raise your voice, serve your community, and shape the future — we invite you to be a part of the Miss Door County Scholarship Program.
