ABOUT US
Miss Empire International is more than just a pageant — it’s a global movement dedicated to uplifting voices, making a difference, and connecting communities around the world. Built on the belief that true beauty goes beyond looks, we create opportunities for women of all backgrounds to showcase their talents, intelligence, leadership, and passion for service. By blending glamour with purpose, we’re redefining the pageant industry and giving women the chance to shine as role models and changemakers.
Based in New Jersey, USA, our transparent and inclusive competitions celebrate the diversity, strength, and leadership of women at every stage of life. Through national and international events, contestants gain recognition, grow personally, and make an impact in their communities. Our ambassadors and titleholders are more than queens — they are leaders and advocates who inspire change.
Founded by Mrs. Burton, an international beauty ambassador and advocate for women’s empowerment, Miss Empire International was born from her vision to uplift women, embrace diversity, and transform the standards of pageantry. With her experience and passion, she’s built a legacy-driven platform where crowns become opportunities and contestants become world changers — a vision that continues to guide the organization today.
A message from our founder
Welcome to Miss Empire International
"When I founded this organization, my vision was clear: to create a transparent, empowering, and transformative pageant system that does more than crown queens — one that elevates voices, impacts lives, and connects communities worldwide.
For many years, I have seen how pageantry can serve as a meaningful platform for personal growth, leadership, and community engagement. Those experiences inspired me to create a pageant rooted in intention, purpose, and empowerment—one designed to foster confidence, celebrate individuality, and provide an environment where each contestant is encouraged to grow, contribute, and thrive.
At Miss Empire International, our mission is not only to recognize beauty and confidence but also to create opportunities for women of all backgrounds to lead, inspire, and make a difference. Our winners and ambassadors don’t just wear crowns; they carry a legacy of purpose, service, and global influence.
It is my honor to welcome you into this growing sisterhood. Whether you are a contestant, ambassador, partner, or supporter, you are part of a movement that is shaping the future of pageantry. Together, we are building an empire — one queen, one voice, one community at a time."
