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 on-stage question this year was "With the state of the current economy, how do you justify competing in pageants?".
