**Miss Mystic Falls Pageant** 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.

## Trivia

* This event occurred in the Season One episode *Miss Mystic Falls*.
* Hope Mikaelson 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 Caroline Forbes.
* 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 Season Three episode six, *Smells Like Teen Spirit*, respectively.
* April seems to resemble Elena Gilbert 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 Elena planned to be escorted by Stefan Salvatore, but he didn't appear and Damon Salvatore took his place. A similar thing happened in the 2030 pageant. Hope Mikaelson was supposed to be escorted by Landon Kirby but ended up going with Roman Sienna. Josie Saltzman was also supposed to go with MG but Penelope Park talked him out of it so she could go with Josie.
