Miss District of Columbia Teen USA
The Miss District of Columbia Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the District of Columbia in the Miss Teen USA pageant.
With only three semi-finalist placings, the District of Columbia is one of the least successful jurisdictions at Miss Teen USA. One of those semi finalists, Miss District of Columbia Teen USA 2000 Tiara Christen Dews, was one of only three District of Columbia teens to win the Miss District of Columbia USA crown.
Sydney Jackson of Washington, D.C. was crowned Miss District of Columbia Teen USA 2020 on January 19, 2020 at the Carpenter Theater in Richmond, Virginia. She will represent District of Columbia for the title of Miss Teen USA 2020.
