Miss Arkansas USA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miss Arkansas USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Arkansas in the Miss USA pageant. The Miss Arkansas USA state pageant was taken over by Premier Pageants in 2002.
Despite an early run of semi-finalist placings, Arkansas has not been greatly successful at Miss USA. From their only Miss USA title win in 1982, Arkansas did not place until Jessica Furrer reached the top 15 in 2005.
Three Miss Arkansas USA titleholders were former Miss Arkansas Teen USA titleholders who competed at Miss Teen USA.
