The pageant is organized as 'an innovative event that prioritizes the health and safety of the contestants, audience, and crew.'
Organized to be "an innovative event that prioritizes the health and safety of the contestants, audience, and crew," the nationally televised pageant will take place in the Exhibition Center and the Soundstage at Graceland, two concert-and-event spaces located at the Elvis Presley's Memphis complex across the street from the Presley mansion.
Although many details have yet to be revealed, the contestants will travel to Memphis for the competitions and participate in"socially distanced" but traditional pageant activities onstage.
“The Miss Universe Organization and the team at Graceland have created an innovative event that prioritizes the health and safety of the contestants, audience, and crew who will join us in Graceland,” Paula M. Shugart, president of The Miss Universe Organization, said in a statement. Created along with the Miss Universe pageant in 1952 as a glitzier rival to the then 31-year-old Miss America competition, Miss USA in recent years has probably been mentioned in the new most frequently due to its association with Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization from 1996 to 2015.
