UPDATE Congratulations to Miss HI USA 2016 Chelsea Hardin and Miss HI Teen USA 2016 Joahnnalee Ucol!
Miss Hawaii USA & Teen USA will be crowned in a black-tie affair at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu on Sunday evening and will be later televised on Khon 2 and the CW!
Headlining the contestant roster this year are two former Teens, Miss Hawaii Teen USA 2010 Julianne Chu and Miss HI Teen USA 2011 Courtney Coleman, Miss Photogenic at Miss Teen USA. Julianne has competed twice before, placing second runner-up in 2012 and 2014 while Courtney will be competing in Miss for the first time.
2015 second runner-up Megan Akim is back, as is 2014 third runner-up Kaiulani Carr but for the most part the other contestants have little experience. There are two other contestants who made the semi-finals in Teen in 2008 and 2009, as well as a Florida Teen 2009 semi-finalist. Might Hawaii give us 2016's first newcomer winner? Take a look at Chelsea Hardin, who I think will give Julie, Courtney, and Megan a run for their money :)
In the Teen competition there is only one returning contestant, semi-finalist Kawailehua Akiona.
