Miss America's Outstanding Teen state pageants explained

Miss America's Teen pageants select the representative for each state for the Miss America's Teen pageant.

Although Miss America state pageants used to run unofficial teen competitions, Miss America's Outstanding Teen was the first official teen pageant associated with the Miss America Organization and the first for which there was a national competition. The first national pageant was held in August 2005 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.^[1] In January 2023 the name was shorten to Miss America's Teen.

As this is the teen version of the Miss America pageant, there has never been a swimwear component of the competition: contestants compete in interview, evening wear, active wear, and talent.
