How to Enter the Miss Alabama Teen Competition

The Miss Alabama Teen Competition invites interested young women to consider becoming a candidate. Candidates may enter at-large or by winning a local preliminary competition that sends their winner to the state competition.  Participating in a local preliminary is an effective way to gain experience, hone your talents and skills, and compete in the state competition free of charge.

The candidate must be a resident or student in the State of Alabama for at least six months prior to the first local or state competition.

Participation in the Miss Alabama's Teen competition provides a unique opportunity for young ladies to gain both the life skills and college tuition scholarship assistance.
