At-Large Entry:

If there is a state pageant in the state a delegate resides, that delegate must first participate in that state pageant before applying to American Beauty as an at-large delegate. If a delegate enters a state pageant and one of the following occurs, the delegate may then apply to American Beauty as an at-large delegate.

All delegates at the Miss American Beauty National pageant compete on equal terms, regardless of whether a state pageant winner or at-large delegate.
