# Miss New York

The Miss New York scholarship competition selects the representative for the state of New York in the Miss America scholarship competition.
In the fall of 2018, the Miss America Organization terminated the Miss New York organization's license as well as licenses from Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia. In March 2019, the license was awarded to Sloane Lewis and Jamie Hickman, along with a board of directors consisting of 13 members.
Abigail Quammen of Manhattan was crowned Miss New York 2024 on July 6, 2024, at the Paramount Theatre in Peekskill, New York. She will compete for the title of Miss America 2025.
