Miss Teen New York International
WHAT IS MISS TEEN NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL?
The Miss Teen International system has been developed to promote today's young women, ages 13 - 18, and their accomplishments. Around the world women are finding this system to be the opportunity to work with others to become positive role models. Being the premiere pageant for young women has given Miss Teen International a chance to open doors for all women around the world. The event will give each contestant the opportunity to share her platform and make plenty of new friends on Friday and Saturday. Prizes including crown and banner will be awarded to the winning contestant along with the opportunity to represent New York at the Miss Teen International Pageant in Chicago in July.
Our Mission: "To Make a Difference" Beginning 21 years ago, the Mrs. International Pageant was developed to have higher standards than other pageant systems. The focus behind Miss Teen International is to showcase women who are 13 to 18 years old, by July 1st of the national competition year and are a resident of the state or a citizen of the country they represent. Each contestant competes in Interview Competition, Fun Fashion, Evening Gown, and Fitness Wear. Each contestant has the opportunity to select a platform of her choice that she spends the year promoting.

Evening Gown: 20% (of overall score) SCORING (1-10 points) Each contestant will wear her own personal choice of evening gown. Each contestant will be judged on grace, poise and elegance in Evening Wear.
Fitness Wear: 20% (of overall score) SCORING (1-10 points) Your aerobic wear must be approved by the pageant office. You may show a bare midriff. Shoes must be a WHITE athletic shoe and be worn with no-show socks and NO PANTYHOSE. Each contestant will be judged on being physically fit, energetic, and healthy.
Fun Fashion Wear: 20% (of overall score) SCORING (1-10 points) The Fun Fashion Wear portion of the competition is designed to provide each Miss contestant an opportunity to express her own personal sense of style. Fun Fashion Wear attire should consist of something that you would wear on the red carpet or to a dressy celebration like a New Year's Eve party. Think of glitz, glam, and dressy; but not casual or sports wear. It's more fun and flirty than an evening gown and may be a dress or pants outfit. It should not be another evening gown. Each Contestant will wear her own personal choice of fashion wear, but, it must be approved by the pageant office, with a photo of the selection.
