Hey guys, first and foremost I want to thank you all so much for the love and support that follows and carries the Exquisite Royalty Family. We've grown so much in the last 12 years and im so greatful that you guys have been with us allowing growth to happen, and also supporting any crazy ideas I have of turning this system into more than just a beauty pageant. Please know I've been praying daily for an answer as to what I feel needs to happen. Life, the economy, day to day challenges makes it hard for us to enjoy this sport we love especially as we go toward a national level which of course requires higher fees. Y'all know I've always strived to be one of the most affordable places for you all because, everyone deserves to feel loved, and like royalty, all things else aside. I've prayed for God to lay the right solution on my heart, and after talking to my national board of directors today, about the idea I've had, I feel confident and comfortable EVOLVING our national pageant for this year to lead us comfortably through these challenging times. I love you all, more information will come as I finalize details but for now here is our announcement. 💜 Neahna
💜 A NEW CHAPTER FOR EXQUISITE ROYALTY 💜
As the world around us continues to change, so do the needs of our families. Rising travel expenses, increasing costs of living, busy schedules, and financial pressures have made us reflect deeply on what truly matters most within Exquisite Royalty.
At the heart of our system it has never simply been crowns or competition — it has always been about confidence, connection, leadership, kindness, and creating meaningful experiences where everyone deserves to feel like royalty.
With that in mind, we are so excited to officially introduce the ✨ Exquisite Royalty National Leadership Summit ✨
This will be a one-day boutique national experience focused on sisterhood, leadership, service, confidence, and community impact — because we believe pageantry can continue evolving in a way that is both meaningful and accessible for families.
This is NOT your typical national pageant weekend.
Rather than a traditional multi-day competition filled with overwhelming travel expenses and pressure, our summit will create space for girls to connect, grow, spotlight their personalities, and participate in a positive and uplifting environment designed to celebrate who they are beyond the stage.
The National Leadership Summit may include:
👑 Leadership speakers & workshops
👑 Sisterhood mixer opportunities
👑 Introduction presentations
👑 Spotlight showcase & peer-voted experiences
👑 Community service & portfolio submissions
👑 Confidence and communication activities
👑 Swag bags, summit merchandise & memory-making moments
👑 In-person AND virtual participation opportunities
National titleholders and ambassadors will be APPOINTED following the summit after review of:
✨ Interviews
✨ Essays
✨ Community involvement
✨ Leadership qualities
✨ Participation and overall representation
This unique summit format also allows our appointed 2026 national titleholders the exciting opportunity to still return and compete for the crown during our future 2027 in-person National Pageant experience.
Our goal is not simply to create another competition weekend.
Our goal is to create an unforgettable experience rooted in purpose, leadership, encouragement, and genuine connection.
We are incredibly grateful for every queen, family, director, sponsor, and supporter who continues believing in the heart behind Exquisite Royalty. This season may look different, but we truly believe it is leading us toward something beautiful.
✨ Because everyone deserves to feel like royalty ✨
More registration details, vendor information, and summit opportunities will be released soon. 💜
