Miss Delaware didn't win Miss America. Here's who the got the job.

There she is, Miss America 2.0. 

Though, unfortunately, she isn't Miss Delaware. 

Joanna Wicks, 24, represented the First State in this year's Miss America pageant but didn't make it past the first round of the televised event on Sunday. Miss New York Nia Imani Franklin won the crown. 

Despite being embroiled in controversy in recent months, the Miss America organization showcased its new, Miss America 2.0 era on Sunday night. Contestants wore pantsuits, touted their women and gender studies majors and spoke about why they believe the 98-year-old pageant is still relevant. 

Some contestants weren't afraid to get political: In the preliminary rounds, Miss Virginia Emili McPhail said she supported athletes kneeling during the national anthem. Miss West Virginia Madeline Collins said President Donald Trump is "the biggest issue facing our country today." 

As the contestants introduced themselves on Sunday night, Miss Michigan declared she was from a state "with 84 percent of the U.S. fresh water but none for its residents to drink," referencing the Flint water crisis. 

Those three contestants didn't make it to the top 15.

Throughout Sunday's competition, the women were referred to as "candidates" who were interviewing for a job, opposed to women vying to win a beauty pageant. 

Ultimately, it was Miss New York who got the job. 

Franklin is a classically trained opera singer who plans to advocate for arts education in schools as Miss America, according to the organization's website.
