this year. The contestants will kick off the night of glitz and glamour with an elegant evening gown modeling challenge. When they reach the end of the runway, they will be asked an interview question by the pageant director, Ms. Victoria Morning. After the final
contestant interview, the astounding talent competition will commence. The Miss Teen USA pageant is famous for the wide array of talent the contestants display during this part of the contest. Expect to see standup comic routines, dancing, singing, puppetry, and more. This year, the diamond crown prize will be on display at the event, so the contestants will have a chance to visit the coveted
award before this year’s winner is announced. You are a contestant in the pageant. You’ve chosen the perfect gown, have practiced your interview skills, and are working hard on your talent routine. This is where your story begins.
