Rainbow Universe Pageants offers several types of pageants and programs for youth. Preliminary pageants are held locally and winners can advance to State pageants, where substantial scholarships are awarded. National pageants bring contestants from across the US to compete for generous scholarships, prizes, and opportunities over 5-6 days. The organization also provides workshops, memberships, coaching and franchise opportunities to support youth development through pageantry.
