Women from every U.S. state are competing for the Miss America crown Saturday night, an honour that carries with it a $50,000 scholarship and a yearlong run as an advocate and role model.

Among the preliminary winners were Miss Maryland and Miss Oklahoma. Miss Alabama won the $6,000 Quality of Life Scholarship for her commitment to community service.

Here is a look at some of the past winners.
