Miss Virginia USA and Miss Virginia USA 2016 is also in two weekends' time, with crownings on the 11th of October. Contestant photos can be viewed here; the pageant will be webcast at www.pageantvision.com.
Virginia has the record for crowning the most former Teen titleholders and there are two former Teens back this year, both competing for the first time. Caelynn Miller-Keyes, Miss VA Teen USA 2013 will be hoping to add to the run of success the 2013 Teens have had this year; the other is Miss Teen USA 2010 semi-finalist Jacqueline Carroll who will be aiming to be the first 2010 Teen to win a title for 2016.
Two of last year's runners-up, Miss VA 2013 Desiree Williams (1RU) and Jamie Hughes (2RU) are competing again this year. Unusually between competing in VA last year & this year, Jamie Hughes competed at Miss New York (MAO) over the summer. Destani Huffman, Teen first runner-up in both 2011 & 2012, is back in Virginia after competing in NC in 2014. Hannah Uhlig, another past Teen runner-up (2RU to Jackie in 2010), has also returned to her home state. She competed in Texas last year and was a non-finalist. Fourth runner-up at Miss VA Teen USA 2014 Ashley Vollrath is competing in Miss for the first time.
The Teen group are largely new but there are two runners-up back: Alexis Ramsey (2RU) and Lexi Crosen (4RU). This is Alexis' fourth year competing.
