Miss Teen USA 2008, the 26th Mis Teen USA pageant,

was held on August 16, 2008 from Atlantis Paradise island

in the Bahamas. This was the first Miss Teen USA pageant that was not televised,

after Miss Universe Organisation broadcast partner

NBC failed to renew its contract, and it was also the first

Miss Teen USA pageant held outside the United States.

At the conclusion of the pageant,

outgoing titleholder Hilary Cruz crowned her successor

Stevi Perry of Arkansas as the new Miss Teen USA.
