Pageant

Selection of contestants

One delegate from each state and the District of Columbia were chosen in state pageants held from September 2015 to January 2016.

Competition rounds

For the first time, the swimsuit competition did not take place and was replaced with an athletic wear competition.[4] Tapout, in collaboration with clothing designer Goldsheep, designed the athletic wear outfits for the pageant, with each individual outfit based on the delegates' representative states.[5]

Preliminary round

Prior to the final competition, the delegates competed in the preliminary competition, which involves private interviews with the judges and a presentation show where they compete in athletic wear and evening gown. It was held on July 29, 2016 and was broadcast on the Miss Universe website and mobile app.

Finals

During the final competition, the top fifteen competed in athletic wear and evening gown. The top five also competed in a customized final question round, and the winner was decided by a panel of judges.
