The Miss Georgia competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Georgia in the Miss America pageant.

Georgia has won the Miss America crown twice - Neva Jane Langley of Lakeland, Florida who won the 1953 Miss America title, and in 2015, when Betty Cantrell of Warner Robins was named Miss America 2016, making her the first native-born Miss Georgia to hold the Miss America title.

In the fall of 2018, the Miss America Organization (MAO) terminated Miss Georgia organization's license as well as licenses from Florida, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia.[1][2] On December 22, 2018; the MAO reinstated the license for the Miss Georgia organization to Trina Pruitt.[3]

Ludwidg Louizaire of Rome was crowned Miss Georgia 2024 on June 15, 2024, at River Center for the Performing Arts in Columbus. She will represent Georgia and compete for the title of Miss America 2025.
