What's the difference between the Miss USA and the Miss America pageant?

Question

I don't understand all the pageants and their preliminaries. There's a Miss America, Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss Earth, Miss USA, but what's the order of succession?

Is it, for example, winner of Miss New York goes to Miss USA and then winner of Miss USA goes to Miss World?

Can somebody clarify??

Answer 1

The shortest answer to this question is that it's really like the difference between Nike & Puma...just two different brands, but both running shoes. Both pageants have long and varied histories, but Miss USA goes on to Miss Universe and is a Trump owned organization. Miss America is not a part of Trump.





The differences in the competition is that Miss America has a talent portion. Usually Miss USA will be a little more glam and Miss America is a little more 'woman next door'.



Some major differences include....



* Miss America is the more established of the two pageants (est 1921). Miss USA has not been around as long (est 1952).

* Miss USA is part of a network of pageants including Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe. Miss USA goes on to compete in the global Miss Universe competition while Miss America does not have a world-wide event.

* There is no talent section at Miss USA while the talent section in the Miss America pageant still plays a major role.
