The pageant
The pageant focuses mainly on promoting environmental causes and winners are chosen equally on their physical attributes as well as their understanding and knowledge of the issues affecting the Earth.[2][3][4]
The delegates from 2001–2005 were either selected from a group of applicants or won the Ms. America International pageant where the prize was to represent the United States at the Miss Earth Pageant.
In the past 5 years, the winners of Miss Earth United States have been former delegates of the Miss USA pageant. Amanda Kimmel, Miss Montana USA 2005 (Top 8 at Miss Earth 2005) was the first Miss USA delegate to crossover and win the pageant. Kimmel is so far, the highest ranking American delegate at Miss Earth since its inception in 2001.
