The 2025 pageant will be held on Sunday, February 16th, 2025 at 7 PM at the Middleton Auditorium in Strickler Hall on UofL's Campus. We are so excited to see amazing girls go for the title of Miss UofL, Miss Cardinal Country, Miss Derby City, Miss Cardinal Country's Outstanding Teen, and Miss Minerva Teen.

The Miss pageant is open to any contestants eligible for the Miss America title although the Miss UofL titleholder must be a UofL student. Our Miss Cardinal Country title will be open to any contestants from KY. We're excited to announce for the first time we will be offering the Miss Derby City title, open to any contestants from KY. We're also offering an additional Teen title - Miss Minerva Teen (subject to number of participants)!
