Miss Oklahoma 2025 moves to Midwest City, seeking vehicle sponsor

The Miss Oklahoma competition is making a major move in 2025. After years in Tulsa, the statewide pageant is relocating to Midwest City, with all events taking place at the Rose State Performing Arts Center. Organizers say the shift makes the competition more accessible to fans and contestants across the state.

The new venue will host multiple days of events, with ticket sales already underway. The move also comes with a renewed push to secure transportation support for Miss Oklahoma during her reign.

Tickets are available through the Rose State Performing Arts Center and can also be secured via the OKC Civic Center website.

A Central Move for Accessibility

The shift from Tulsa to Midwest City reflects a strategic decision to better serve audiences statewide.

“We are so excited that the Miss Oklahoma competition has moved from Tulsa to Oklahoma City,” said Jack Cooper, chairman of Miss Oklahoma. “We are now centrally located in the state, and we believe more people will have access to attending our different competitions.”

Cooper emphasized that a portion of each ticket supports scholarships and is tax-deductible.

Miss Oklahoma Vehicle Sponsor Needed

Alongside preparations for the June event, the organization is actively searching for a new car sponsor. Cooper said the reigning Miss Oklahoma travels across the state, visiting schools and inspiring students from Pre-K through 12th grade.

“The school-aged students in our state benefit from her visits. Many have shared that her talk has made a big difference in their lives," said Cooper.

He is calling on Oklahoma City-area car dealerships to step up. The proposal: four dealerships each provide a vehicle for three months, covering the entire year.

“Miss Oklahoma is relevant to our state today, and many don't realize all that she does,” said Cooper. “States all around Oklahoma have a donor for their car sponsorship. Oklahoma is not second class, and we don't want to see other states step ahead of us.”

Cooper can be contacted at Jack@missoklahoma.org for those interested in becoming a vehicle sponsor.

Scholarships, Service and Spotlight

The new Miss Oklahoma will receive a $30,000 cash scholarship, with every delegate walking away with scholarship support. Organizers stress that the competition is more than a crown. It's a year-long commitment to outreach and advocacy.
