Введение
Государственный конкурс красоты, связанный с конкурсом красоты Мисс США Программа стипендий Мисс Огайо выбирает представителя штата Огайо, чтобы побороться за титул Мисс Америка. Конкурс проводится ежегодно в течение недели "Фестиваля Мисс Огайо" в историческом театре "Ренессанс" (первоначально названном театром Огайо) в Мэнсфилде. Представители Огайо выигрывали конкурс Мисс Америка шесть раз, присоединившись к Калифорнии и Оклахоме как единственным штатам с шестью коронами. В Нью-Йорке больше всего победителей - семь. Огайо - единственный штат, в котором есть участница, которая дважды выиграла титул Мисс Америка: 1922 Мэри Кэтрин Кэмпбелл, Колумбус* 1923 Мэри Кэтрин Кэмпбелл, Колумбус* 1938 Мэрилин Меске, Марион 1963 Жаклин Майер, Сандуски 1972 Лори Лиа Шефер, Бексли 1978 Сьюзан Перкинс, Миддлтаун * Когда представители городов были распространены на национальном конкурсе, Мэри Кэтрин Кэмпбелл участвовала в конкурсе Мисс Америка как "Мисс Колумбус, Огайо". Конкурс Мисс Огайо сыграл значительную роль в спасении театра Огайо и его реконструкции в Театр Возрождения. Первоначально Мэнсфилд принимал Мисс Огайо в старом театре Огайо с 1959 по 1962 год. После того, как Жаклин Майер, Мисс Огайо 1962 года, была коронована Мисс Америка 1963 года, конкурс Мисс Огайо был перенесен в павильон бального зала в парке развлечений Седар-Пойнт в Сандуски. В 1975 году конкурс вернулся в Мансфилд, сначала в аудиторию Малабарской средней школы с 1975 по 1978 год, затем в театр Мэдисон в 1979 году. В 1980 году было решено телевещать конкурс. Из-за недостаточной глубины сцены и пространства за кулисами в театре Мэдисон, тогдашний продюсер конкурса Денни Келлер и дизайнер декораций конкурса Пол Гилгер убедили совет директоров Мисс Огайо перенести конкурс обратно в театр Огайо в Мэнсфилде, вновь открыв объект и приукрасив его для первой телевизионной трансляции конкурса. Возвращение конкурса в старый театр Огайо стало первым событием, которое в конечном итоге привело к полному обновлению театра и его перевоплощению в театр эпохи Возрождения. Стипендиальная программа "Мисс Огайо" проводится в театре "Ренессанс" с 1980 года, уже более 40 лет. Елизавета Нис из Цинциннати была коронована 18 июня 2022 года в театре Ренессанс в Мэнсфилде. Она выступила на конкурсе "Мисс Америка 2023" в Мохеган-Сан в Ункасвилле, штат Коннектикут, в декабре 2022 года, где она попала в Топ-11.

Beauty pageant competition
The Miss Ohio Scholarship Program selects the representative for the U. S. state of Ohio to compete for the title of Miss America. The pageant is held annually, during the "Miss Ohio Festival" week, at the historic 1,600 seat Renaissance Theatre (originally named the Ohio Theatre) in Mansfield. Ohio representatives have won the Miss America pageant six times, joining California, and Oklahoma as the only states with six crowns. New York has the most winners with seven. Ohio is the only state to have a contestant who won the Miss America title twice:
1922 Mary Katherine Campbell, Columbus*
1923 Mary Katherine Campbell, Columbus*
1938 Marilyn Meseke, Marion
1963 Jacquelyn Mayer, Sandusky
1972 Laurie Lea Schaefer, Bexley
1978 Susan Perkins, Middletown
* When city representatives were common at the national pageant, Mary Katherine Campbell competed in Miss America Pageants as "Miss Columbus, Ohio". The Miss Ohio pageant played a significant role in the saving of the Ohio Theatre and its renovation into the Renaissance Theatre. Mansfield originally hosted the Miss Ohio Pageant at the old Ohio Theatre from 1959 through 1962. After Jacquelyn Mayer, Miss Ohio 1962, was crowned Miss America 1963, the Miss Ohio pageant was relocated to the Ballroom Pavilion at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky. In 1975, the pageant returned to Mansfield, first to Malabar High School Auditorium from 1975 through 1978, then to the Madison Theatre in 1979. In 1980, it was decided to televise the pageant. Because of inadequate stage depth and backstage space at the Madison Theatre, then pageant producer Denny Keller and pageant set designer Paul Gilger persuaded the Miss Ohio Board of Directors to move the pageant back to Mansfield's Ohio Theatre, reopening the facility and sprucing it up for the pageant's first televised broadcast. The pageant's return to the old Ohio Theatre was the initial event that eventually led to the total renovation of the theatre and its reincarnation into the Renaissance Theatre. The Miss Ohio Scholarship Program has been held at the Renaissance Theatre since 1980, now for over 40 years. Elizabetta Nies of Cincinnati was crowned on June 18, 2022 at Renaissance Theatre in Mansfield. She competed for the title of Miss America 2023 at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut in December 2022 where she placed in the Top 11.
