Miss Delaware USA

The Miss Delaware USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Delaware in the Miss USA pageant. It is formerly directed by Crown Productions from 1993 to 2007, then to D&D Productions from 2007 to 2018. CW Productions became the new directors for the pageant from 2019.[1] In 2020, CW Productions was terminated. The license to produce the 2021 state pageants was awarded to V&M Productions, LLC. This is only the second time that the pageant will be produced by a former Miss Delaware USA.
