2022 Petite USA National Pageant
Announcing Barby Ingle as the 2022 Mrs. Southwest Petite!
The Petite USA Pageant was founded in 2009 by Hazely Lopez-Alvarez with a vision to empower and celebrate petite beauty, 5’6 or less. USA Petite Pageant focuses on celebrating the accomplishments of petite women and provides the opportunity to be a voice and spokesmodel for petite women around the United States.
Petite USA is the official United States preliminary to the Miss Universal Petite pageant. With a vision of serving, Petite USA is more than just a pageant.
Serving others through our leadership and outreach, the Petite USA Family is a sisterhood that embraces healthy competition and a heart. Each contestant is asked to champion a “Personal Platform” near and dear to her heart to encourage leadership, community service, and kindness.
The areas of competition include sportswear, evening gown, judge interview, and on-stage question. We are looking for poised, graceful, and passionate ladies who understand that their height is not limited to fulfilling their dreams.
