Stevi Perry, Miss Arkansas Teen USA 2008 and Miss Teen USA 2008

The Miss Arkansas Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Arkansas in the Miss Teen USA pageant.

The state pageant was directed by Premier Pageants from 2002 to 2007 before becoming part of the Vanbros organization, headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas. In 2007, Vanbros group took over the management of the pageant with the Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma pageants.

From 1986 until 2004, when Sarah French won Miss Photogenic, no Miss Arkansas Teen USA had placed or won an award at the national competition. From 2008 until 2010, Arkansas had placed at Miss Teen USA three consecutive years, including Stevi Perry winning their first Miss Teen USA title in 2008.

Three Miss Arkansas Teen USA titleholders have gone on to win the Miss Arkansas USA title and three have won Miss America state titles, more than any other state.

Madeline Bohlman, a native of McKinney, Texas, was crowned Miss Arkansas Teen USA 2021 on May 23, 2021 at The Fort Smith Convention Center in Fort Smith. She represented Arkansas for the title of Miss Teen USA 2021.
