The Miss California Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of California in the Miss Teen USA pageant. It was formed in 1983. This pageant is part of the Miss USA Organization, owned by Miss USA 2008 Crystle Stewart.[citation needed]

California is in the top 5 most successful states at Miss Teen USA in terms of number and value of placements. Miss California een USA titleholders have been invited to red-carpet movie premieres, such as that for Santa Clause 3 attended by Kylee Lin,[1] and She's the Man, attended by Jessica Powell.[2]

The current titleholder is Cassidy Hill of Newport Beach, who is crowned on June 5, 2022 at the Hyatt Regency Orange County. Hill represented California for the title of Miss Teen USA 2022 and was the 2nd runner-up in the pageant.

History

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.[3]
