What happens to the winners after they are named?
Part of each titleholder’s prize package is an employment contract with the Miss Universe Organization (now MISS UNIVERSE, L.P., LLLP). To fulfill that contract, the titleholder becomes a representative of the company for one year. MISS UNIVERSE® and MISS USA® are provided with a deluxe apartment in New York City and travel the world meeting dignitaries, speaking on behalf of the company, meeting with charitable organizations and appearing at events held by official sponsors. MISS TEEN USA®, because she is usually still in school, lives at home and makes appearances during her weekends and vacations.
