January 9, 2023. Orlando, FL. – Since 2018, the Mrs USA Earth pageant has been known as an award-winning national program for married women focused on environmentalism and empowerment. The national event returned to Orlando from January 2-7 for annual national pageant events in partnership with Rosen Hotels and the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida. Over 40 state titleholders participated in pageant activities throughout the year, culminating with the televised production on VIP Pageantry network.
Mrs USA Earth 2023 is Ann Pennington of New Jersey. A wife and mother, Ann launched her business in New York City and created Eye For Style and Runway for a Cause, combining her love of fashion with the goals of sustainability, repurposing and giving back to the community. She is proud to be featured on the cover of Glamour Magazine, where she highlighted sustainable jewelry made from recycled metals and wardrobe made from repurposed fabrics from US designers.
As the winner of Mrs USA Earth, Pennington receives an extensive prize package. She is invited to represent the United States at an international competition later this year, receives an in-home infrared spa from HOTWORX, custom jewelry from Crown Jewel Designs, invitations to host and model within the pageant and fashion industry, a domestic vacation for her and her spouse, and more.
Recognized as a charitable organization with 501(C)(3) tax exempt status, the pageant’s nonprofit the Still She Rose initiative was the featured benefactor of the week, providing a wellness leadership grant to Mrs Utah Chelsea Roberts. The program also awarded an environmental grant to Mrs Tennessee Jessica Woodall. Each state delegate conducted an environmental project in her home state, and Keep Orlando Beautiful welcomed the national delegates for a group parks cleanup.
Rounding out the Top 5 for Mrs USA Earth 2023 are Liz Bernard Clark of Kentucky, Lindsay Shockey of Georgia, Amy Keed of Nevada, and Jayne Black of Wisconsin.
Managed by Crown Life Productions based in Virginia Beach, the 2024 national program is expected to be held in Virginia Beach. Prospective state titleholders, sponsors and directors can contact the organization for inquiries. Visit mrsusaearth.com.
