**The Miss Mystic Falls Pageant** is is a beauty pageant held annually in Mystic Falls. Typically, the daughters of the founding families compete against each other for the title of **Miss Mystic Falls**, though other members of the town have been known to enter the pageant as well. Formerly Carol Lockwood, amongst others, chose who would compete in the competition each year, following her death, students are free to enter at their will.

## Throughout The Vampire Diaries

### 1864

In 1864, the pageant was postponed due to hunting of the vampires in Mystic Falls. Anna, a vampire, was intending on competing; but couldn't after the vampires got taken to the church and "burnt". Though, it is later revealed that they were instead hidden in a tomb below the church.

### Season One

The first pageant was on February 7, 2010. Alex Gilbert, Elena Gilbert, Caroline Forbes, Tina Fell, Blair Fell, Amber Bradley, and an unnamed girl were chosen by Carol Lockwood to participate.

* Alex Gilbert with Damon Salvatore (originally planned to be escorted by Stefan Salvatore)
* Elena Gilbert with Theo Salvatore
* Caroline Forbes with Jeffery Lockwood Hamilton
* Tina Fell with Bartholomew Whitmore

* Lily Salvatore is the current titleholder.
* Anna was supposed to enter in 1864, but the pageant was cancelled due to vampire hunts.
* Another pageant was featured in the seventh episode of Season Four, titled *My Brother's Keeper*.
* April Young became the new Miss Mystic Falls during the Vampire Diaries series, replacing Alex Gilbert.
* This is the second event to happen twice, with the first being the *Back to School Party*, which took place in the first episode of Season One and the sixth episode of Season Three, *Smells Like Teen Spirit*, respectively.
* April seems to resemble Alex from the first pageant.
* April planned to be escorted by Jeremy Gilbert, but he didn't appear and Matt Donovan took his place; just like Alex planned to be escorted by Stefan Salvatore, but he didn't appear and Damon Salvatore took his place. A similar thing happened in the 2029 pageant. Hope Mikaelson was supposed to be escorted by Landon Kirby but ended up going with Rafael Waithe. Lily saw that Hope was going to do it alone so asked Rafael to do it with her and she ended up with Roman Sienna.
