Your journey starts here.

​

​

 

Trans USA is more than a national competition. It is an opportunity to grow, connect, advocate, lead, and become part of a community that extends far beyond the stage.

​

Applications for the Trans USA Class of 2027 will remain open from September 21, 2026, through January 31, 2027. Prospective representatives are encouraged to apply early to maximize the likelihood of representing their top selection.

​

Whether you come to Trans USA with years of advocacy and pageantry experience or are stepping into a space like this for the first time, we are looking for individuals who are ready to bring their authentic selves, their unique stories, and their own vision of leadership to our national community.

​

You do not need to fit one definition of what a titleholder should look like, sound like, or be. We want to know who you are, what matters to you, and what you hope to do with the opportunity.

​​​​

Before applying, we strongly encourage every prospective contestant to review the Official 2027 Contestant Handbook above.

​

The handbook contains important information about eligibility, divisions and titles, the application and acceptance process, contestant expectations, competition categories and scoring, advocacy and community engagement requirements, important dates and deadlines, awards, resources, and what you can expect throughout your Trans USA journey.

​

And remember: You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. Part of this experience is learning, growing, building relationships, and discovering what your leadership can look like.

Questions Before You Apply?

 

Choosing to pursue a national title is a big decision, and we want prospective contestants to feel informed and supported throughout the process.

​

If you have questions after reviewing the handbook, reach out to the Trans USA team. We are happy to help clarify the application process, competition requirements, eligibility, or what you can expect from the experience.
