Miss Kentucky and Miss Kentucky's Teen Quality of Life Luncheon 2026

Come celebrate the 2026 Class of Miss Kentucky and Miss Kentucky's Teen contestants at our annual Quality of Life Award Luncheon.

This luncheon celebrates the commitment that each contestant vying for the state titles have to their communities and service initiatives. The contestants must demonstrate that they have fulfilled a legitimate need in their community through the creation, development and/or participation in a community service project. The Miss Kentucky Board selected a panel of distinguished judges who have narrowed the applications to five finalists in both the Teen and Miss categories. These five finalists will have a separate interview to discuss their service/project with a panel of Quality of Life judges. Scholarships will be awarded to the winner, 1st runner-up, and 2nd runner-up in both the Teen and Miss division.

We are thrilled to have top-rated motivational speaker Dale Smith Thomas as our Keynote Speaker this year. Dale's reputation is built on her ability to connect at a personal level with honesty, humor and warmth. She has an unmatched ability to connect at a personal level with audiences around the world to explore life changing principles with transparency, honesty, humor and warmth. She knows how to stir passion, inspire action and move people through her ideas with an engaging style.

Food includes bruschetta chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and dessert. Catered by Cambridge Market.
