TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Empowering woman, encouraging growth, and creating a family are part of the Miss Banks of the Scholarship Program.
Young woman from all over the state had a chance to compete in Miss Banks of the Wabash, Miss Crossroads of America, and teen competitions.
Saturday’s competition took place at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. WTWO’s very own Jen Thompson served as the pageant’s emcee.
This being a local pageant, the winners punch their ticket to compete for Miss Indiana and Miss Indiana’s Teen in 2026.
Winners tonight also received scholarship, crown, pin, sash, and crown pin.
Elayna Hasty is handing down her title of Miss Banks of the Wabash and says the opportunity is more than the crown.
“Whether you walk away with a crown, or you win, or you walk away with growth, you never really lose in this opportunity. you’re constantly learning. You are gaining networking and sponsorships and scholarships. you know, people skills, interview skills. there’s so much that this organization offers for us,” said Hasty.
Miss Banks of America 2026 is Isabella Lange and Miss Banks of the Wabash Teen 2026 is Avery Candler.
