The Senior America contest brings women together from all the states in North America. The main prerequisite for participating is being over 60 years old. It is a competition for third age ladies. It is indispensable to have some kind of talent and a lot of enthusiasm, to be a great communicator and leader, to feel proud of your appearance and, above all, to be sure of yourself. The focus is mainly on inner not outer beauty. There is no money and there are no sumptuous gifts. The winner receives just one prize: being the most admired senior woman in the United States. Ms. Senior America is held once a year in Atlantic City, USA. With a track record of over 30 years the contest enjoys incredible success and, although it is a non-profit making event, an impressive economic system keeps its wheels turning.
