Each year one girl will walk away with a local crown, compete at Miss New York (possibly win!), and at the end of her year- she will pass the crown on to the next girl. But these amazing, smart, beautiful, and talented women should not be forgotten. They are an important part of the Miss New York legacy.

The Miss Capital Region Scholarship Organization ran between 1992 and 1999, adding the Miss Northeastern NY title in 1994. Contestants were eligible if they lived in Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Warren, Washington, Columbia, Greene, Fulton, Montgomery, Hamilton, Dutchess, and Ulster.
