Hosted by pageant co-director Jennifer Vannatta Fisher at the ArcBest Performing Arts Center in Fort Smith, the 2019 Miss Arkansas USA and Miss Arkansas Teen USA broadcast follows both divisions from contestant introductions and preliminary results through the finals and crowning. Contestants’ preliminary scores combined private interviews with swimsuit or active wear and evening gown competition; the finalists then competed again, answered questions on stage and awaited the judges’ decisions. White River’s Maggie Williams was crowned Miss Arkansas Teen USA 2019, with Natural State’s Daley Dakus first runner-up. White River’s Savannah Skidmore won Miss Arkansas USA 2019, with Capital City’s Breejamin Perkins first runner-up. The program also features outgoing titleholders Lauren Weaver and Mackenzie Hinderberger, special awards, and the contestants’ farewell speeches.
