Jorge Esteban and USA National Miss founder Jackie Watson host the 2026 UNM National Finals at the Gas South Theater in Duluth, Georgia. Contestants compete in fashion runway and evening gown before the fields narrow to the top five in the Junior Teen, Teen, and Miss divisions for scored on-stage questions. Minnesota’s Isabella Weiss is crowned USA National Junior Teen, Southern Empire’s Emily Nokham wins USA National Teen, and Oklahoma’s Anna Lunday is crowned USA National Miss. Lunday also earns the Mercedes-Benz GLA as the highest-scoring contestant in the senior division. The program includes introductions of delegates and reigning titleholders, semifinalist announcements, farewell walks, and a $500 People’s Choice scholarship awarded to Southeast Georgia’s Kennedy Elrod.
