For Miss teen USA contest several cities and all the USA states have preliminary competitions, known to be produced by both local and state directors. It’s a common knowledge that the winner of the city contest enters the state competition presenting a home city and then state winners go on to participate in the national competition.
It should be pointed out that all of the mentioned beauty competitions are separated from the Miss America beauty contest. Catalina Swimsuit was their founder (formerly a sponsor of Miss America). The pageants came into being as a promo product in the Long Beach (California). In spite of the fact that many girls and women participate in both Miss America and Miss teen USA contests, they are absolutely different and completely separate acts. Traditionally, these competitions are held in different venues each year. Since 1960 there also have been separate live television specials telecasted from various locations all around the world.
The venues for the Miss teen USA contest are chosen depending on the events’ producers. Throughout the year they work with private enterprises, state and government representatives and officials. As a rule, the city that offers most support and the best-suited is chosen for the event.
