Miss Utah USA

The Miss Utah USA competition is the pageant who selects the representative for the state of Utah in the Miss USA pageant.

Contents

Utah has been quite successful at Miss USA, with 20 placements as of 2009. Their most consistent period was in the 1950s and 1960s. Utah has produced one Miss USA in 1960 (Linda Bement, who went on to win the Miss Universe 1960 title). Miss Utah USA 1957, Charlotte Sheffield, also won the Miss USA 1957 crown after the original titleholder (Leona Gage of Maryland) was dethroned. Utah has a strong recent record, having placed in four out of five pageants between 2005 and 2009.

Britt Boyse, the Executive Director of Casting Crowns Productions, is currently the director for Miss Utah USA and Miss Utah Teen USA along with Miss Arizona USA and Miss Arizona Teen USA.

Three Miss Utah USAs are former Miss Utah Teen USAs who competed at Miss Teen USA. All three placed at Miss USA, which eclipsed their Teen performances. They are also very similar to the Miss North Carolina USA titleholders who also placed at Miss USA rather than Miss Teen USA.
