Jennifer Berry, Miss America 2006.
Miss America on Yhdysvalloissa vuosittain järjestettävä missikilpailu. Kilpailu järjestettiin ensimmäisen kerran jo 1920-luvulla. Vuoteen 2005 asti kilpailu järjestettiin aina sen kotipaikassa New Jerseyn Atlantic Cityssä. Vuodesta 2006 lähtien kilpailu on pidetty Nevadan Las Vegasissa. Kilpailu mainostaa itseään lauseella ”muut kauneuskilpailut etsivät mallia, Miss America etsii roolimallia”. Kilpailun pääpalkinto on opiskelustipendi missin itsensä haluamassa oppilaitoksessa. Useat voittajat ovat jo valmiiksi olleet korkeasti koulutettuja ja lahjoittaneet palkintorahat hyväntekeväisyyteen.
Vuoden 2003 Miss America -kilpailijat Andrewsin lentotukikohdassa.
