Photographers
Stage, sash and crown.
Photograph the opening number, evening gowns, onstage questions and the crowning moment, plus portraits of titleholders after the show.
Media access
Cover the crown.
Universe Crown Impact invites photographers, videographers, press, bloggers and influencers to cover our pageants — from backstage preparation to the crowning moment.
Next event: Saturday, December 5, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Seattle. Established and emerging creators are welcome.
Who we invite
Every lens, every platform.
Videographers
Footage with a story.
Capture runway and stage footage, contestant and organizer interviews, and b-roll for reels, documentaries and broadcast.
Journalists & press
Credentials and interviews.
Official press credentials, with access to contestants, titleholders, judges and organizers for interviews and features.
Bloggers & influencers
Share it as it happens.
Bring your audience inside a pageant built around service — from red-carpet arrivals to the moment a new titleholder is crowned.
What we offer
More than a photo pass.
Access that fits your work
Backstage, photo pit, red carpet or front-row access, assigned by media type and the coverage you plan.
Credit and visibility
Credited reposts on our channels, and a place among the media partners we work with across our pageants.
Stories worth telling
Contestants represent communities, heritage and causes. Every title is tied to service through AmPowering, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Portfolio-ready moments
Gowns, national costume, the Prince & Princess Program and the Global Women Leadership Awards — all on one evening.
What we look for
Creativity, care and a point of view.
We welcome media of every size, established or emerging. We look for a distinct perspective, a portfolio that shows it, and a passion for telling stories of people who lead with purpose.
Many of our contestants are young people. We ask all media to cover them respectfully and to follow staff direction on the day.
