Miss Utah USA
The Miss Utah USA competition is the pageant who selects the representative for the state of Utah in the Miss USA pageant.
Utah has had moderate success at Miss USA, with their most consistent period being in the 1950s and 1960s. They have produced one Miss USA in 1960, who went on to win Miss Universe 1960. Miss Utah USA 1957, Charlotte Sheffield also won the Miss USA 1957 crown after the original titleholder was dethroned. Their most recent finalist was Heather Anderson in 2007.
In 2006 Red Curtain Productions took over the directorship of this pageant. The staff of Red Curtain are all former Miss Utah USAs and Miss Utah Teen USAs.
Three Miss Utah USAs are former Miss Utah Teen USAs who competed at Miss Teen USA. All three placed at Miss USA, which eclipsed their Teen performances.
