The Miss Arab USA Organization or Miss Arab Organization claims to fall under the non-profit organization Arab American Festival. The Miss Arab Organization is a pageant where 20 Arab American women compete for the crown to be Miss Arab USA. The contestants involved raised money for the organization under the belief that it was non-profit. The form with the account information had Miss Arab USA Organization not their non-profit Arab American Festival name. It is believed that the organization is not using the money for charitable cause. There is information available online that suggests Mr. Ashraf Elgamal, the CEO of the company may not be a legal citizen in the United States. There is evidence to prove that the pageant is rigged and money driven. One of the awards for the pageant is Miss Arab USA, People’s Choice Award. Typically this award in pageantry is 1 person 1 vote. The winner was the person who raised the most money not individualized votes. The contestants were allowed to vote for themselves.
