Reina Filipina North America pageant launches in New York
Filipino American women dreaming of stepping onto a global pageant stage now have an exciting new opportunity to represent the Philippines.
Excitement is building as the Reina Filipina North America pageant, set to take place on Jan. 19, 2025, at New York’s Palladium Times Square, offers Filipina Americans an opportunity to represent New York on a global stage.
This new pageant provides a direct pathway to Miss Universe Philippines 2025, with a potential ticket to the Miss Universe stage.
The inaugural Reina Filipina North America titleholder won’t just take home the crown but also a range of big prizes.
In addition to the title, the winner will receive a round-trip ticket to the Philippines, where they’ll enjoy a five-night stay at the Winford Hotel and Casino in Manila.
Closer to home, the winner will also be treated to three nights at the Hilton Grand Vacation in Las Vegas. A $3,000 cash prize is also up for grabs, making this a significant prize package for the pageant’s first-ever titleholder.
Organizers encourage Fil-Am women aged 18 and older, and at least 5’2” tall, to submit their applications for this opportunity. Aspiring candidates should send their photos and resumes to [email protected] by Nov. 15.
The Reina Filipina North America pageant is also celebrating Filipino heritage through its commitment to showcasing local fashion talent.
Filipino designers are invited to take part in this event by creating pieces that reflect the depth and vibrancy of Filipino culture.
These designers will have the chance to dress contestants, allowing their work to be seen on an international stage and fostering a greater appreciation of Filipino artistry in fashion.
“Join us in uplifting local talent and creating a movement that showcases Filipino artistry,” the pageant organization wrote in a Facebook post. “Don’t miss this meaningful opportunity.”
