Miss New Hampshire USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miss New Hampshire USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of New Hampshire in the Miss USA pageant.

New Hampshire has had little success at Miss USA, and has only placed four times. Two of those placings have been in the past six years, with Bridget Vezina placing 1st runner-up to Lynnette Cole at Miss USA 2000, and the semi-finals placement of Vanessa Bissanti at Miss USA 2004.

Only one Miss New Hampshire had previously competed at Miss Teen USA, but three have competed at Miss America.
