Bradley Hughes and pageant co-director Jennifer Vannatta Fisher host the 2018 Miss Nebraska USA and Miss Nebraska Teen USA competition at Omaha’s Rose Theater. The broadcast introduces contestants and reigning titleholders Jasmine Fuelberth and Samantha Washington, then follows the competition through teen semifinal athletic wear and evening gown, the Miss division’s swimsuit and evening gown reviews, and on-stage finalist questions. The finalists are announced, special awards are presented, and the crowning names Omaha’s Sarah Rose Summers Miss Nebraska USA 2018 and West Omaha’s Michaela Edstrand Miss Nebraska Teen USA 2018. The program also includes the outgoing titleholders’ farewell remarks and a $10,000 presentation to the Ross Foundation to support a family affected by a child’s leukemia diagnosis.
