Miss Alaska Teen USA


Miss Alaska Teen USA is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Alaska in the Miss Teen USA pageant and the name of the title held by that winner.
The pageant is part of the Miss Universe Organization which also holds the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. The Miss Alaska Teen USA pageant is generally held in the late fall or early winter in Anchorage, Alaska together with the Miss Alaska USA. The current directors are former titleholders and sisters Rachel Saldana and Sonja Garness.
There are three categories of competition which include Personality Interview, Swimsuit, and Evening gown. The fourth judging category is the on-stage impromptu question that is completed by the top five finalists.
Alaska has never won Miss Teen USA title, with only three teens making the semi-finals or better. However, Marla Johnson placed 1st runner-up to Bridgette Wilson of Oregon at Miss Teen USA 1990. The other two placements are recent, coming in 2003 and 2005. Alaska has not won any special awards.
Three Alaska teens later won the Miss Alaska USA title.
Jadyn Fraser of Alaska was crowned Miss Alaska Teen USA 2020 on November 2, 2019 at Wendy Williamson Auditorium on the UAA Campus in Anchorage. She will represent Alaska for the title of Miss Teen USA 2020.
