Miss U.S. International is the official United States preliminary to the Miss International Beauty Pageant (officially titled The International Beauty Pageant).[1] The United States has sent a representative to the Miss International pageant since its inception in 1960. The only year a representative was not sent was in 2006.[2]
The current titleholder is Shanel James of Maryland (representing East Coast), who was crowned on June 22, 2017, by Kaitryana Leinbach, Miss U.S. International 2016 and 4th Runner-up at Miss International 2016.[3]
History
The United States was represented by Miss National Press Photographer in 1960, 1961 and 1962. From 1963 to 1967, the organizers ran the Miss American Beauty section two days before the Miss International finals.[citation needed] After 1967, the U.S. representatives were selected by other methods. For example, in 1968 Miss Welcome to Long Beach was sent to Japan as Miss American Beauty (since 1987 as Miss USA).[citation needed]
Currently, Harrison Productions, LLC is the license holders for Miss International in the United States and the winner of the Miss U.S. International pageant competes at the Miss International Beauty Pageant.[4]
