**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.

## 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". (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. Amber Bradley, Alexandria Gilbert, Elena Gilbert, Caroline Forbes, Tina Fell, Blair Fell and one other unnamed girl were chosen by Carol Lockwood to participate. Amber was not a member of a founding family, but was chosen in spite of this. The event took place in the Founders' Hall.

**Each girl was escorted with the following partner:**

* Caroline Forbes with Jeffery Lockwood Hamilton.
* Tina Fell with Bartholomew Whitmore.
* Blair Fell with unknown.
* Elena Gilbert with Joe Thomson
* Alexandria Gilbert with Damon Salvatore. (Originally planned to be escorted by Stefan Salvatore.)
* Amber Bradley did not appear at the pageant as she was taken into the woods by Stefan who then fed on her.

**Alexandria Gilbert was awarded Miss Mystic Falls, and with the other participants and their escorts, stood on a float during the Founder's Day Parade.**

### Season Four

This pageant was held on November 28, 2010.

**Each girl was escorted with the following partner:**

* Valerie Fell with Dylan Clark.
* Amber Wolverton with Hector Linsey.

## Trivia

* This event occurred in the Season One episode *Miss Mystic Falls*.
* Lillian Gilbert-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 Alexandria 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 Season Three episode six, *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.
* Known winners include: Alexandria Gilbert, April Young, Violet Fell, Miranda Sommers-Gilbert, Alex's adoptive maternal grandmother, and Lillian Gilbert-Salvatore.
