Georgia is the third most successful state at Miss Teen USA [1], and has had the second highest number of semifinalist placings (or better) [2]. Despite this, like their sister pageant, Miss Georgia USA, they have never won the competition despite having placed 2nd, 3rd, 4th,and 5th as well as several finalist and semi-finalist spots. They have never won any of the main awards, but did win Style awards in 1999 and 2000.
Four Georgia teens later won the Miss Georgia USA crown, and one other won the Miss Indiana USA title. Kelly Jerles, the first Miss Georgia Teen USA, became the first Teen titleholder to compete at Miss America, representing Georgia in 1987. Another Georgia teen also competed for Alabama at that pageant.
The pageant is directed by Miss Tennessee USA 1989: Kim Greenwood.
