The pageant world boasts more than 3,800 pageant competitions...only three are

for women with disabilities. Ms. Wheelchair USA is one of the three.

Ms. Wheelchair USA is very different than the others. Ms. Wheelchair USA

recognizes that all women, despite any disability, can be beautiful, feel

glamorous and self confident. These women are exciting, and can contribute

to the betterment of our families, community, and country.

Ms. Wheelchair USA was founded more than 15 years ago as a state contest that

was held in Ohio. The competition was so successful, others came from

all over the country to watch the competition, and encourage its expansion.

With their support, the national contest was born.
