Miss Oak Harbor is a nonprofit organization that gets its roots from the earlier nonprofit, PageantWyse, which produced the first Miss Oak Harbor Scholarship Pageant in 2015. After a brilliant 4-year run, PageantWyse ended, but Miss Oak Harbor took up the mantle in 2020. Thanks to the efforts of a small Board of women and tremendous community support, Miss Oak Harbor continues to present the Miss Oak Harbor Scholarship Pageant, which awards thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards each year, and the Miss Pioneer Way Pageant, which offers girls ages 0-14 the opportunity to participate in an all-natural pageant.

 Our mission first and foremost is to provide scholarships for young women interested in the advancement of their education, through the spirit of a competition that embodies the four points of the crown: scholarship, service, success, and style. Our intent is to inspire personal and professional growth through the development of leadership, communication, and marketability, challenging participants to serve their communities through volunteerism along the way. Our hope is that participants gain confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of accomplishment that will enable them to serve as role models for the youth of their community.
