Welcome to the River Republic

Nestled in the heart of the Panhandle of Florida is a quaint little part of the south that has been untouched by the modern demands of society. Like blood flowing through veins, the Aplalachicola River and Chipola River slowly crawl through the landscape to converge creating a place like no other, eventually flowing out to the Gulf of Mexico. We take great pride in sharing are beautiful area to the world. Each year, River Republic Productions awards a multitude of prestigious titles to young women between the ages of 7-24 in Calhoun, Gulf, and Liberty Counites. These ladies spend the year showcasing our part of Florida to the world and repersenting their communities at the Miss Northwest Florida Pageant. The goal of these young ladies is to develop communications skills, foster community service, tackle issues, and build positive relationships with local communities, all the while promoting what is special about our area.

Follow us as we explore the River Republic, the place that we call home. We will share with the world unique treasures such as Look and Tremble, Torreya State Park, and the Dead Lakes that are very much ingrained into our lives. We will take you to unique festivals and events that only we can boast in our area! Discover what makes our home special and why so many love to visit our
area! Join us on a journey of discovery! Explore the River Republic!

WHAT IS NEW FOR 2020!!!

We are getting ready for 2020 and it is the clearest year yet!!! We have some amazing pageants coming up this year and look forward to producing some amazing events! Also, we will be now selling pre-orders for our River Republic Shirts this year on-line! We are working with Lightning Graphics out of Marianna, Florida to produce high quality, locally based t-shirts marketing our wonderful area. River Republic is a federally trademarked brand unique to our area! Our Chipola River shirts were wildly successful in 2019! We have had some major bumps since Hurricane Michael blew through here in October of 2018, but we are moving forward as a community. Our mission is to bring attention to our area and help revitalize our communities through public service and be advocates for the needs of the people.

2020 Winners

2019 Winners

GEARING UP FOR THE 2019 PAGEANT SEASON!!!

This year, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael, the Miss Northwest Florida Scholarship Pageant Board made the motion to make advancement to the 2020 pageant optional this year. Preliminaries will go on as scheduled, however, contestants will not be obligated to advance to the regional pageant. Miss Northwest Florida will be open to contestants to enter "at-large" this year meaning that those that wish to enter do not have to enter a preliminary. Winners of preliminaries can compete at a discounted rate at Miss Northwest Florida if they choose to enter.
