2022 Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen Competition

Southwest Christian High School in Chaska, MN
Friday, March 25 - Check in/Rehearsal 

We are excited to announce we will be accepting up to 20 candidates for the 2022 Minnesota's Outstanding Teen Competition. Local titles will receive the first 12 - 14 slots, leaving 6 - 8 'At Large' or 'Ambassador' titleholders to register. If you decide to compete 'At Large,' or as a Local Ambassador, we recommend registering as soon as possible to reserve your spot. 

This year, we will be announcing a prize package valued at $5000 for our new 2022 Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen.
Additional scholarships will be awarded to the Top 5, and all candidates will be eligible to apply for service and academic achievement awards. Stay tuned for more information!

I want to compete for Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen, but I am not sure what the best option is for me.

If you are thinking about competing for Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen, here are three ways you can enter:
​
​1. Compete for a Local Title, which will automatically enter you into the State Competition
or 
2. Compete "At Large," which means you enter directly into the State Competition
or
3. Compete as a result of winning a local Ambassador title. 

What's the difference?
​

Compete at State Competition with a Local Title​

If you compete for a local title, you have the benefit of getting a committee behind you to help you navigate and prepare for the competition.

​Here are the additional benefits:
  • You win a crown and sash and the opportunity to fulfill a year of service representing that local community which crowned you
  • If you are a first time candidate, competing in a local competition first, gives you valuable experience before competing at State. 
  • You become a member of the 2022 Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen Class
  • The opportunity to win scholarships and you can also compete for additional scholarship awards if offered at the local competition
  • The opportunity to work with a local committee dedicated to preparing you for the state competition: interview preparation and paperwork preparation, talent and wardrobe advice, etc.
  • Your local competition enters and pays the fees for you to compete at the State Competition held on March 26, 2022
  • Depending on the local competition you enter, you may receive a wardrobe allowance; a photography sponsor; a schedule of planned appearances in the community; and other opportunities which may arise from representing a local community
  • You are eligible to apply for and win Community Service and Academic Achievement Scholarships at the State Level
  • You will crown your successor the following year when you give up your crown, unless you win the state title!

​Compete at State Competition with an At-Large Title

If you have competed previously and understand how the competition works; or if you prefer to prepare for the competition independently, competing 'at large' might be for you.

Here is the information to compete At Large:
  • You select your own title, typically the city or county you live in (if it is not already being used). You will receive an official sash with that title. 
  • You make your own decisions regarding your Social Impact Initiative, your paperwork, wardrobe, talent, etc
  • You become a member of the 2022 Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen Class
  • You will compete for the state title, and if you win, you will go on to compete for Miss America's Outstanding Teen
  • You are eligible to apply for and win Community Service and Academic Achievement Scholarships at the State Level
  • You pay an entry fee of $650, which includes the official Miss America local sash
  • You may purchase the official crown for an additional fee, or you may use a crown you have from winning a previous official Miss MNOT local competition​
​

  • Fill out the Questionnaire 
  • Click the link below to pay your one-time registration fee of $35 for this competition season. You will also be entered in the lottery for a $1000 Miss America Scholarship award. 

Compete at State with an Ambassador Title


If you have competed and won a local Ambassador title, then you might be ELIGIBLE to compete for Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen.
