## About Miss Subways The City Reliquary Miss Subways updates the historic “Miss Subways” beauty contest held in New York City from 1941 to 1976 (and resurrected once by the MTA in 2004) for the 21st century. **The event expands on the progressive history of Miss Subways as the first racially integrated beauty competition and invites contestants of all gender identities, body types, and ages 18+ to apply.** The first City Reliquary Miss Subways was presented in 2017. Contestants representing their subway line of choice compete for the prized title of Miss Subways and the transit tiara. A panel of local celebrity judges evaluates their costumes, talent performances, and answers to subway-themed questions to decide who will represent NYC straphangers as the next Miss Subways.
