State representation

The contest was attended by competitors from all states and territories of the United States. Each delegate represented their state or territory, including Guam, American Samoa, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The competition covered four categories: interview, swimwear, evening gown and on-stage question categories.

The 16 finalists again competed in swimwear. The top 10 from that round then competed again in the evening gown category and finally the top 5 participated in the on-stage question. The on-stage question this year was "With the state of the current economy, how do you justify competing in pageants?".

Delegates

The Miss United States 2014 delegates were:

gollark: Biome variants, I believe.
gollark: It's useful if you just need an uncommon quickly. I can't think of other uses.
gollark: *golds
gollark: The pricing is weird, though, you have to admit. Trios cost more than godls.
gollark: I've never actually used it due to the pricing, but that's hardly the fault of its existence.
