From 1993 to 2006, the Miss Colorado USA state pageant was directed by Carol Hirata and the Carlton Group. In 2007, it was taken over by Future Productions, which also directs the state pageants for Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Colorado has been one of the less successful states at Miss USA, having not had a finalist since 1963 until Jessica Hartman finished third runner-up in 2010. They have, however been successful with other awards, being one of only four states to have been awarded Miss Photogenic twice.
Two Miss Colorado USA winners were former Miss Colorado Teen USA titleholders and four were former Miss America contestants. One of Colorado's winners Katee Doland has all three state titles: Miss Colorado Teen USA, Miss Colorado USA and Miss Colorado America. The 2002 and 2003 Miss Colorado USA titleholders had previously held Miss Colorado titles in the same order in subsequent years.
The current Miss Colorado USA titleholder is Sabrina Janssen.
