What Makes Miss American Teen Extraordinary?

Miss American Teen is more than just a pageant—it’s an elite scholarship and beauty competition designed to empower young women through personal development, community engagement, the arts, and education. We specialize in preparing poised, confident young women for successful careers in the public eye, offering a platform that goes beyond the stage. This prestigious competition is a spokesmodel search, seeking an inspiring role model who embodies grace, intelligence, and leadership -- awarding her with a $2,500 college scholarship.

For all our aspiring delegates, we offer an exclusive model casting program, providing both new and experienced talent the opportunity to be placed with top-tier modeling agencies—regardless of pageant placement. At Miss American Teen, every young woman walks away a winner, equipped with skills, opportunities, and lifelong connections that set her apart.

Miss American Teen is also a membership organization that remains active 365 days a year promoting and connecting our members to resources and opportunities to build their personal brands. We don't aspire to produce the "biggest" annual pageant on the scene, but we certainly aim to be the best! #WeAreThoseGirls

Our Symbols and Mottos

Our Crown: Adorned with five Pineapples, the international symbol of hospitality and friendship. Between the pineapples are eight Olive Branches, the well-known symbol of peace and friendship. Our symbols are an important representation of our belief that strength and empowerment of girls and young women is accomplished by creating a friendly environment in which all feel welcome and valued.

We promote and require a non-bullying environment at all activities and interactions among our members. Even in "competition" we request support and applause by all attendees to all delegates. This philosophy promotes confidence and self-assurance that are the building blocks for future success in life.

Our motto, "Be a Pineapple" furthers that objective. An additional symbol, a girl in a party dress, represents our goal to create fun activities for young women to participate in that grow their confidence.
