Miss Teen USA 2020 was the 38th Miss Teen USA pageant. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was originally slated for spring 2020, and held on November 7, 2020 at the Exhibition Centre and the Soundstage at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.[1] The competition was hosted by Allie LaForce and Cheslie Kryst. Kaliegh Garris of Connecticut crowned her successor Kiʻilani Arruda of Hawaii at the end of the event.

The competition marked the first year that a new crown made by luxury jeweler Mouawad was used at Miss Teen USA, effectively retiring the Mikimoto Crown.[2]

For a third consecutive year, the competition was held concurrently alongside the Miss USA competition. This was the last Miss Teen USA to be organized by Miss Universe Organization before being split into its separate organization beginning in Miss Teen USA 2021.

Background

Location

On August 30, 2020, Graceland announced on their schedule that the competition would be held on November 7 on their premises in Memphis, Tennessee.[3] The MUO later confirmed that the competition will be hosted at Graceland the following day.[1]

This was the first time the competition has been hosted in Tennessee since Miss Teen USA 1984 was also held in Memphis.

Hosts

On October 22, it was announced that the competition would be hosted by Allie LaForce and Cheslie Kryst. LaForce formerly was crowned Miss Teen USA 2005, and has worked as a sports reporter for Fox and Turner Sports, while Kryst was crowned Miss USA 2019 and serves as a correspondent for Extra.[4]

Selection of contestants

51 delegates from the 50 states and the District of Columbia are selected in state pageants which began in September 2019 and ended in February 2020.
