Brittany Brannon, Miss Arizona USA 2011
The Miss Arizona USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state Arizona in the Miss USA pageant.
In 2005 the rights to produce the Miss Arizona USA pageant were given to Casting Crown productions. This company is directed by Britt Boyse, Miss Missouri USA 1995.
Arizona has had a comparatively large number of semi-finalists and placings, but has never won the Miss USA crown in its own right. However, in 1980, Jineane Ford was awarded the title after Shawn Weatherly (who won the original pageant) won the Miss Universe pageant.
Three Miss Arizona USAs were former Miss Arizona Teen USAs and two were former Miss America contestants.
