Dear Future Contestant,
For over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with extraordinary girls and women from all walks of life.
One question I’m often asked is:
What makes a Miss & Ms Culture Galaxy or Miss American Nation winner?
The answer is clear—ambition.
Ambition, when paired with poise, confidence, grace, intelligence, and inner beauty, is what defines the exceptional titleholders who wear our crowns. These qualities go beyond the stage—they reflect the heart of a leader, a role model, and a changemaker.
Each year, MCG/ANP Productions has the honor of welcoming contestants just like you—driven individuals who are ready to make an impact and leave a legacy.
Our pageant is not simply a competition; it is a platform for growth, empowerment, and service. We celebrate voices with purpose, dreams with vision, and hearts committed to making a difference.
Now more than ever, your presence matters. As a representative of your state or country, you have the opportunity to inspire, uplift, and lead—touching lives in your community and far beyond.
We invite you to take this step and join us on this remarkable journey. Visit www.anpageants.com to secure your application and enjoy exclusive discounts available now.
✨ This is your time. This is your stage. Seize your moment and let your ambition shine. ✨
With admiration,
Debbie Gonsalves & Sasha Nielsen

✨ Meet Our 2026 Contestant Coordinator & Choreographer: Emily Dole ✨
With over 4 years of experience in the MCG, ANP & MERP pageant systems and multiple titles under her belt, Emily truly knows what it takes to shine — and even more importantly, she knows how to help others shine too.
What we love most about Emily is that she is more than just a titleholder — she is family. Emily has a natural gift for inspiring confidence, creating a warm and welcoming environment, and ensuring that every participant feels seen, valued, and celebrated. She works seamlessly alongside Mrs. Elizabeth, bringing creativity, structure, and a positive energy that helps contestants feel at ease and ready to take the stage.
As our Contestant Coordinator, Emily is the friendly face and guiding hand contestants can turn to throughout the weekend. Whether it’s answering questions, offering encouragement, or making sure every detail is in place, she provides the support contestants need to focus on what matters most — enjoying their moment to shine.
As our Choreographer, Emily brings the stage to life. Her ability to combine organization with fun ensures that routines are polished, dynamic, and easy to follow. Contestants not only learn stage presence and movement but also gain skills they can carry with them far beyond pageant weekend.
Emily’s dedication, patience, and passion for this sisterhood make her an essential part of our pageant family. She leads with both heart and expertise, and we are beyond excited to have her guiding this year’s contestants. We know her sparkle, encouragement, and energy will make pageant weekend an unforgettable experience for everyone.
