United States representatives at Miss Earth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United States-Miss Earth is a beauty pageant conducted by Carousel Productions to select the US representative to Miss Earth. The pageant was established in 2006. Delegates from 2001-2005 were either selected from a group of applicants or won the Ms. America International pageant where the prize was to represent the United States at the Miss Earth Pageant.
United States-Miss Earth's have not been very successful at Miss Earth, with their highest placement being a top 8 finalist, achieved by Amanda Kimmel. Kimmel is also the first Miss USA delegate to crossover and win the pageant. The second delegate was Amanda Pennekamp, Miss South Carolina USA 2004 who made the top 16 of the Miss Earth 2006 pageant. Out of the seven titleholders, only three have made the cut at Miss Earth.
