Meet Our Class of 2026
Introducing our Class of 2026 competing in the Miss Douglas County Scholarship Program’s next annual competition on March 1, 2026, at 2:00pm in UCC’s Jacoby Auditorium.
Online ticket sales go live on February 1, 2026.

We are anticipating over $40,000 in scholarships will be awarded to the 10 miss candidates and 13 teen candidates in our Class of 2026. These scholarships would not be possible without the continued support of our generous sponsors and community members.
In addition to scholarships, our candidates are competing for the once in a lifetime opportunity to serve our community as Miss Douglas County 2026, Miss Umpqua Valley 2026, Miss Douglas County’s Teen 2026, or Miss Umpqua Valley’s Teen 2026. Whoever is crowned will advance to compete at the Miss Oregon or Miss Oregon’s Teen scholarship competitions in June, where thousands more dollars in scholarships will be made available to them.
