Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2022 was the 16th annual Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant held in Orlando, Florida. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the planned 2021 edition was originally scheduled on August 8, 2020, the preliminary competitions were also scheduled on August 4–6, 2020, but it was postponed indefinitely.[1] It has been announced that pageant would be held on July 30, 2021, with preliminary competitions were held on July 28–29, 2021.[2]

Payton May of Washington crowned her successor, Marcelle LeBlanc of Alabama, at the end of the event.[3]

Overview[]

The COVID-19 pandemic was heavily disrupted the MAOT state pageant competitions were originally scheduled from late-March to June 2020 were postponed to 2021 or cancelled outright. However, five contestants had already crowned prior to the pandemic and they were Alabama, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Utah.[4][5]

Due to restrictions implemented in 50 states and District of Columbia (except those state pageants were held prior to the pandemic), numerous health and safety guidelines have been implemented for contestants, production members, and audiences at state pageants, such as taking a negative COVID-19 test and following social distancing. Additionally, a number of state pageants have had to alter their initial venue choices due to shut-downs implemented by their governor.
