The Miss Tennessee competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Tennessee in the Miss America pageant.

Christine Williamson of Chattanooga was crowned Miss Tennessee 2018 on June 23, 2018 at Carl Perkins Civic Center in Jackson, Tennessee. She competed for the title of Miss America 2019 on September 9, 2018 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

In the fall of 2018, the Miss America Organization terminated the former Miss Tennessee organization's license as well as licenses from Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.[1][2] On December 22, 2018, Miss America Awarded a new license for Tennessee to a group of former directors and title holders. Joe Albright was named as CEO and is married to Janie Evans Albright, a long time director with Miss Tennessee. Lanna Keck-Smith, Miss Tennessee 1997, was named Executive Director, Caty Davis, Miss Tennessee 2017, was named as the Chief People Officer. For more information, you can check out the Miss Tennessee website.

History

The Miss Tennessee pageant was first held in 1938, although the winner, Isobel Carter, was unable to compete at Miss America due to illness and so the 1st runner-up became Miss Tennessee. The following year, two winners were chosen to compete for the Miss America title. In 1940 the pageant suffered a repeat of 1938, with the winner resigning through illness and the 1st runner-up representing the state at the national competition. The routine pageant was held in 1941, but from 1942-1946 representatives were appointed without a pageant being held, due to World War II. In 1947 twins Jean and Jane Cunningham were both awarded the Miss Tennessee title, with one representing Tennessee and one Chattanooga at the Miss America pageant. The modern era of the pageant can be dated to 1953, when a regular routine of state pageants was instituted.

Kellye Cash, Miss America 1987, is the second Miss Tennessee to win the national title. Six titleholders have placed as runners-up to Miss America. Tennessee native Barbara Jo Walker was Miss America 1947 and represented the city of Memphis when she won the title.

In a rare occurrence, all three Miss Tennessees 1999-2001 later won the similar Miss Tennessee USA pageant, whose delegates represent Tennessee at Miss USA. More remarkable was that the three won the Miss Tennessee USA title in the order which they held their Miss Tennessee titles. Allison Alderson, one of the three, is a Triple Crown winner, having competed for Tennessee at Miss Teen USA 1994 as well. Three other Miss Tennessees have won the Miss Tennessee USA title, Jean Harper, Desiree Daniels, and Leah Hulan.

Two Miss Tennessees have won the National Sweetheart title, Rita Wilson and Vicki Hurd.
