Your journey to San Juan

Entries open September 23 and close October 18. Free to enter, open to anyone 18 or older living in the US.

Your profile is a photo and a few lines about who you'd bring. No pageant experience, no portfolio, no video.

The moment it's live, you get your personal voting link. Share it everywhere you post - that link is your whole campaign.

The voting rounds kick off October 19. Anyone with your link can vote for you free every day.

You don't need a big following - you need people who'll tap your link daily. A group chat is plenty.

Keep sharing through November 13. Every day of votes moves you up the board.

On November 13, voting closes and the fan with the most votes is announced as Miss USA's Guest of Honor.

Ten days later, you and your +1 are wheels up to San Juan with $2,500 in your pocket.

The trip runs November 23-25, so make sure you're both free before you enter.

Round-trip flights land you and your +1 in Puerto Rico, with two nights at a four-star hotel in San Juan.

On the 24th, you get celebrity hair and makeup and two seats at the Miss Universe finals, watching Justus Kelley compete for the crown.

And the $2,500 cash is yours to spend on Old San Juan, the beach, or nothing at all.
