My name is Isabelle St. Cyr, and I am so excited to share that I am returning to the stage to compete for Miss Maine USA 2026!

Last year was a milestone not just for me, but for the history of pageantry in our state, I became the first transgender woman to compete for the title of Miss Maine USA. Stepping onto that stage was about more than a personal dream; it was about opening doors, inclusion, and proving that every Maine woman deserves to have her voice heard.

After finishing as a finalist in a national pageant this past March, I am more prepared and more motivated than ever to bring the crown home to a community that has shaped me. I am so ready to show all of you my growth not only as a contestant but as a woman.

I believe the Miss Maine USA title should represent the true diversity of our state—from the farms to the Miss Maine USA stage.
