The Miss Vermont Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Vermont in the Miss Teen USA pageant. It is formerly directed by Sanders & Associates, Inc., dba- Pageant Associates based in Buckhannon, West Virginia from 2004 to 2017 before GDB Theatre and Pageant Productions becoming the new directors of the stage pageant since 2018.

Charlotte Lopez, Miss Vermont Teen USA 1993, was the first Vermont Teen to win the Miss Teen USA crown and the 10th state that won the title for the first time. Four Miss Vermont Teen USA titleholders have won the Miss Vermont USA title and competed at Miss USA.

Prior to 2022, no sisters had been held the Miss and Teen titles in a single state. Vermont became the first state to have biological sisters holding the statewide Miss USA and Miss Teen USA titles simultaneously, when Kenzie Golonka crowned Teen and her sister (and former Teen titleholder) Kelsey crowned Miss.[1]

Nadja Dacres of Colchester was crowned Miss Vermont Teen USA 2023 on March 25, 2023. She will represent Vermont for the title of Miss Teen USA 2023.

Fifteen-year old, Josslyn McKenna of Colchester was crowned Miss Vermont Teen USA 2024 on June 9, 2024. She represented Vermont for the title of Miss Teen USA at the 41st Annual Miss Teen USA on August 1, 2024 at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The last televised Miss Teen USA pageant was in 2007, which was the 25th anniversary of the pageant. The 2024 Miss Teen USA pageant was the first time the pageant was televised since 2007, airing on The CW. [2]
