The Miss UNA pageant took place on Saturday evening at Norton Auditorium, located on the University of North Alabama campus, where Caroline Coleman, a senior hailing from Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, was crowned Miss UNA. This achievement allows Coleman to advance to the upcoming Miss Alabama competition later this year.
Coleman, who is pursuing a degree in psychology, showcased her talent by performing a selection from a classical opera during the talent segment of the event. With her victory, she becomes the 50th individual to earn the title of Miss UNA since the pageant’s inception, which began in 1974 with Pam Long as the first titleholder.
The competition featured a rigorous five-stage process in which 13 contestants vied for the prestigious title. The stages included a private interview, on-stage questions, health and fitness assessments, a talent showcase titled “HER story,” and the evening gown presentation. As part of her rewards, Coleman will receive a custom-designed Miss UNA ring from Creative Jewelers, a local business in downtown Florence, along with a one-year tuition grant. The Miss UNA pageant serves as a formal precursor to both the Miss Alabama and Miss America competitions, highlighting the significance of this event in the pageant circuit.
