More than a crown.
A movement empowering authenticity across Minnesota.
“Authéntique Beauties Pageant empowers individuals to express themselves, build confidence, and embrace inner beauty through pageants, skill-building, and community service across Minnesota, all while supporting causes that matter.”
Our Mission
To empower individuals across Minnesota to step into their authentic selves — on stage, in their schools, and in their communities — through pageantry built on integrity and inclusion.
Our Minnesota Chapter
We are a tight-knit family of contestants, ambassadors, parents, and directors who share a love for confidence, sisterhood, and giving back across the great state of Minnesota.
Confidence, Community & Inner Beauty
Every program is designed to celebrate inner beauty in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The crown is a reminder; the confidence is the prize.
Skill-Building & Mentorship
Workshops on stage presence, public speaking, etiquette, leadership, and personal branding led by mentors who've walked the runway before.
Community Service & Causes That Matter
Service is woven into everything we do. From food drives to community partnerships, we use our platforms to support causes that uplift Minnesota families.
The Six Pillars of Authéntique
Every event, appearance, and mentorship moment ties back to these six commitments — the foundation of everything Authéntique Beauties Minnesota does.
BE Empowering
Through interviews, talent, and stage presence, participants build poise, confidence, and public-speaking skills that last well beyond the crown.
BE Inspiring
Members share their real stories, cultures, and passions — proving that beauty comes in every shape, size, and color.
BE Uniting
A shared mission of authenticity, mentorship, and service brings families together across every county in Minnesota.
BE Leaders
Ambassador, titleholder, and director roles give members real leadership responsibility — planning, representing, and lifting others up.
BE Serving
From MS Walk and Heart Walk to Feed My Starving Children and Toys for Tots — service is a core part of every year of our program.
BE Mentors
Through Jewels & Gems and Authentique Elite, experienced members guide newer ones in life skills, self-expression, and personal growth.
How We Serve Minnesota
Community service is at the heart of our mission. Our members volunteer monthly at Feed My Starving Children and support causes like Walk MS: Twin Cities, MN Heart Walk, Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure, Ronald McDonald House, Hats & Mittens, Coats for Kids, and Toys for Tots.
Our Mini Miss titleholder won the National Award for the most community service.
