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.

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.
