Miss Alabama is an annual beauty pageant which is used as a qualifier for the Miss America pageant. From 1949 to 1966 the pageant was held at the Alabama Theatre. Before 1949 both the Miss Alabama and Miss Birmingham pageants sent their winners to the Miss America competition. Since 1921, Alabama has produced three Miss Americas, 19 top-five finalists and 35 top-10 semi-finalists.
The pageant competition is currently held at Samford University's Wright Center auditorium.
