The Miss Black Ohio USA Scholarship Pageant is an official state franchise for the Miss Black USA Pageant. We are open to teen girls and women of black heritage who live in, attend school in or work in Ohio. We have three age divisions: Miss Black Ohio USA (ages 18-27), Miss Black Ohio USA Talented Teen (ages 14-19), and Ms. Black Ohio USA (ages 27-45). Age based on age at time of entry. Winners receive scholarships and their entry fee paid to compete in the national pageant. Both the Ohio pageant and our national pageant are nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organizations.
