The moment you've been waiting for is here! Pretty Down to Earth - a QBN Original Series - debuts on Thursday June 19 at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
This year's television series is in partnership with the Miss Earth USA® organization. Known as Beauties for a Cause®, Miss Earth® empowers women through community leadership, eco-tourism, and environmental education. Miss Earth is known as the planet’s most relevant beauty event, including nearly 100 countries each year attending international festivities, which was most recently held in the pageant headquarters nation of the Philippines.
Presenting a twist to the traditional pageant format, the national finalists took a journey to New York to film challenges, photo shoots, and more, showing us they can be both PRETTY and DOWN TO EARTH.

"Usually, our judges must quickly select Miss Earth USA based on one week of performances," said National Director Laura Clark. "This extended format not only allows judges more time to evaluate the candidates, we are also afforded more time to showcase the talents and diversity of many of our top candidates. These women are overcoming great obstacles and accomplishing life changing milestones, and it will all be captured on the QBN original series."
In the most recent edition, Beatrice Millan-Windorski of Wisconsin placed in the Top 4 internationally, awarding her the title of Miss Earth Water 2024. Windorski will continue her advocacy for climate refugee legislation and assistance around the globe for people displaced by natural disasters.
National Finalists are Francis Malpica of Columbus, OH; Geanna Koulouris of New York, NY; Gia Soleil Espinoza of El Paso, TX; Gissell Bahena of Chicago, IL; Haley Poe of Erie, PA; Kaedance Collette of Los Angeles, CA; Kiara Landon of Seattle, WA; Madison Nero of Armonk, NY; Sarah Sherwood of El Paso, TX; Sydney Hella of Denver, CO; and Ta’ya Imaage Hazelwood of Milwaukee, WI.
