Whidbey Royalty is a nonprofit organization rooted in the earlier nonprofit, PageantWyse, which produced the first Miss Oak Harbor Scholarship Pageant in 2015. After a brilliant four-year run, PageantWyse concluded, and the tradition was picked up in 2020 under the name Miss Oak Harbor before officially becoming Whidbey Royalty. Today, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated Board of Directors and tremendous community support, Whidbey Royalty presents three competitions annually. The Miss Oak Harbor Scholarship Pageant and the Mr. Oak Harbor Scholarship Competition deliver thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards to high schoolers each year, while the Pioneer Way Pageant offers girls and boys ages 0-14 the opportunity to participate in an all-natural pageant. 

Our mission is to empower youth by providing a platform that fosters networking, cultivates a sense of responsibility, and embraces the acceptance of all. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where participants can grow their skill sets, engage in meaningful volunteerism, and build lasting connections. Through our pageants, we celebrate diversity, encourage personal growth, and provide scholarships to support educational aspirations. We aim to inspire a sense of accomplishment in participants as they develop into confident, compassionate leaders committed to giving back to their communities.
