Day 5 Sneak Peek of My Wardrobe & Highlights. What Can I Expect to Enjoy Most?

The weekend is almost here! I am thrilled about meeting my fellow contestants, and making life long friendships. I expect to share genuine interactions and forge lasting memories. Apart from the networking, I am eager to display my hard work during the interview and fun fashion segment. I am ready to present my dedication and passion to the judges and capitalize on the chance to make a strong impression on stage, one that I can be proud of!!

Day 4: Why did you choose to compete in Amerifest Nationals?

I opted to participate in Amerifest due to the opportunity to gain confidence, be part of a cohesive group of young women, acquire valuable experience, and be valued as an individual rather than just a competitor. Amerifest demonstrates a genuine interest in all its contestants, creating a familial atmosphere for which I will always be thankful.

Day 3 - Who are your pageant besties? New? Who are you bringing with you?

I have many pageant besties but these girls hold a special place in my heart. Some friendships have stood the test of time, some are familial bonds, and others are newfound. I appreciate that our connections remain strong despite time apart. I love you all 👑🩷

I am bringing my nonna and great grandma. They're two of my biggest supporters ❤️❤️

Day 2 Amerifest Photo Challenge- What is your favorite community service/platform topic?

As a participant in the Amerifest Pageant, I have embraced opportunities for personal growth while using my title to advocate for children in Foster care.

My platform, “Cases for Kids,” is a donation initiative aimed at supporting children in foster care. Through the program, I collect new and gently used suitcases, blankets and stuffed animals — items that can provide comfort and dignity to children navigating difficult transitions.

The cause is deeply personal, as my family has had its own experiences with the foster care system, shaping me into understanding the challenges many children face.

“I want to give kids something of their own and help them feel respected and cared for in a hard situation."

Throughout my reign, I plan to collect donations and deliver them every three months to Job and Family Services agencies in Madison and Clark counties. Community members interested in contributing can arrange a donation pickup or drop-off by contacting my family via email or social media.

My name is Emmah, I am 11 years old and I am the 2026 Miss Pr***en Ohio Amerifest from London, Ohio 👑
