Official 2026 application
Step forward.
Lead with purpose.
A private, guided application for Universe For Cause and participating AmPowering pageant programs. Your card details go directly to Square and never touch our systems.
Before you begin
Gather these first. It takes about 20 minutes.
Three written answers
- Achievements and community impact — at least 50 characters.
- What makes you unique and inspiring — at least 100 characters.
- A nomination or adversity story, for programs that ask for one — at least 100 characters.
Drafting these elsewhere and pasting them in is often easier than writing them in the form.
Your details
- Legal name, date of birth, and contact details
- Full postal address
- Occupation or school, and employer or school name
- For applicants under 18, a parent or guardian’s name, relationship, and contact details
Complete the application in one sitting. Your answers are held in the browser only until you submit, so closing the tab or navigating away will clear them.
