Miss Teen USA 2014, will be the 32nd Miss Teen USA pageant. The winner of Miss Teen USA 2013 will crown her successor at the end of this event. The 50 states and the District of Columbia will compete for the title and the pageant will be webcast on the official Miss Teen USA website via UStream and on Xbox Live, which will be streamed for the first time on the Xbox One console alongside Xbox 360 consoles, Windows 8 PCs and Windows Phone devices.

Interactivity
Xbox One users can watch the pageant while searching for a multiplayer game, making or receiving Skype calls as well as browsing on Internet Explorer using the console's Snap mode feature. The pageant will be streamed on the console using Windows Azure alongside Live servers. It will also support 4K resolution (2160p) viewing.

Users can also seamlessly pause the event on their console and resume viewing on a Windows Phone device. This will be achieved using the Xbox Live Cloud.

Interactive aspects from the 2013 pageant, such as Xbox SmartGlass functionality and viewer poll questions, will be returning for Xbox 360 users.

Proposed change in voting procedure
It was reported that the final pageant would switch to a Eurovision-style voting system to decide who will win the title. Similar to Eurovision, each state as well as the countries broadcasting the pageant on Xbox Live will rank each delegate with 12 points for their favorites, 10 points for their second choice and 8 points to 1 point for their remaining 8 chosen delegates. Rankings will be decided using a combination of both fan votes as well as preliminary round scores.
