Miss California Teen USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miss California Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of California in the Miss Teen USA pageant. This pageant is part of the Miss Universe Organization, owned by Donald Trump[1]

Historically, California is the sixth most successful state at Miss Teen USA [1]. They have also had the fifth highest number of placements (semi-finalist and above) [2].

The most successful Miss California Teen USA was Shauna Gambill, who won the Miss Teen USA crown. She later became the only Californian teen to cross over to the Miss California USA crown. At Miss USA 1998, Gambill placed first-runner up to Shawnae Jebbia of Massachusetts, in what is widely considered to be one of the closest and most controversial decisions in recent years. She was later named Miss World USA 1998 and was a semi-finalist at the 1998 Miss World pageant.

In the 1980s, the pageant was directed by Richard Guy and Rex Holt, who also oversaw the Miss California USA, Miss Texas USA and Miss Texas Teen USA pageants. They lost the contract in 1990, when it came up for renewal.[2] The pageant was later directed by Carolee Munger, and is currently directed K2 Productions, lead by former Miss Teen USA 1995 Keylee Sue Sanders. During the Munger era, the pageant was held in Fresno in early September, but after K2 Productions took over the state the 2006 pageant was staged in Palm Springs[3] and the 2007 event in San Rafael.

The Miss California Teen USA system used to run various official local pageants that fed into the state pageant, but these were later replaced by unofficial local events. Local pageant winners compete alongside at-large delegates at the state events.[4]

In recent years, Miss California Teen USA titleholders have been invited to red-carpet movie premieres, such as that for Santa Clause 3 attended by Kylee Lin,[5] and She's the Man, attended by Jessica Powell.[6]
