Welcome to the Official Miss Hawaii USA® and the Miss Hawaii Teen USA® website!
Each year we work to provide a fun environment in which women from around the Aloha State have the opportunity to develop skills that will help them win in life by being their personal best in everything they do. The pageant encourages you to build self-confidence, individual pride, and a greater self-awareness. You will make new and lasting friendships and find that the pageant will be a rewarding and worthwhile experience.
Ultimately, two women will be crowned Miss Hawaii USA® and Miss Hawaii Teen USA®. We invite you to join us in the journey of a lifetime and possibly become the next MISS TEEN USA®, MISS USA® or MISS UNIVERSE®!
