Buellton, CA - February 3, 2026-- Ricardo Santiago Soto, MBA, the Founding National Director of Miss Polo Universe USA, has officially announced an open call for women aged 18-40 to represent their home states in the prestigious national pageant scheduled for August 2026.

With the online application portal now live, the organization confirms that no contestants have yet been secured via the website, meaning every state title is currently "up for grabs." This presents a unique opportunity for aspiring leaders and advocates to be the first to claim their state's sash for the 2026 season.

Recognizing the financial barriers often associated with high-level pageantry, Director Soto—who brings a "Management First" mindset backed by his finance degree—is personally offering to teach contestants how to fundraise their entire entry fee. Through this professional coaching, the cost to participate can be reduced to zero dollars ($0) for the contestant.

"We are not just looking for a winner; we are building a legacy of American leaders who embody athletic grace and a heart for global education," stated Soto.

The Miss Polo Universe USA organization is seeking representatives for all 50 states:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Qualified women are encouraged to apply immediately on the official redesigned website to secure their state title before it is claimed.
