Miss District of Columbia USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shauntay Hinton, the second Miss District of Columbia USA to win Miss USA (2002)

The Miss District of Columbia USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the District of Columbia in the Miss USA pageant.

One of the more successful contestants at Miss USA, the District of Columbia is one of only five states to win Miss USA twice and one of only twelve states to win the Miss Congeniality award twice. From 1970-1975 they had a streak of five consecutive top 12 placements. This was broken in 1976, but achieved again in 1977.

Two Miss District of Columbia USAs were former Miss District of Columbia Teen USAs and three have competed at Miss America.
