Background

Selection of contestants

Contestants who are participated in each state are reverted with the eligibility rules which they are to compete not more than one state per year.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the duration between most of the state pageants from the previous year's competition are shortened from eight to eleven months. Delegates from the 50 states and the District of Columbia are selected in state pageants which began in September 2021 and will end in July 2022, as the state pageant schedule can become very dense between the last state pageant held from 2021. The first state pageants were Idaho and Montana, held together on September 12, 2021, and the last state pageant will be Colorado, scheduled to hold on July 3, 2022.

Three delegates have previously competed in Miss Teen USA and Miss America, two are a former Miss Teen USA state winners and one is a former Miss America state titleholder.

As of April 3, 2022, 19 state titleholders have been crowned.
