Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic heavily disrupted the MAOT state pageant competitions were originally scheduled from late-March to June 2020 were postponed to 2021 or cancelled outright. However, five contestants had already crowned prior to the pandemic and they were Alabama, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Utah.[4][5]
Due to restrictions implemented in 50 states and District of Columbia (except those state pageants were held prior to the pandemic), numerous health and safety guidelines have been implemented for contestants, production members, and audiences at state pageants, such as taking a negative COVID-19 test and following social distancing. Additionally, a number of state pageants have had to alter their initial venue choices due to shut-downs implemented by their governor.
