About Us

RPM Productions, Inc. has been affiliated with the Miss Universe Organization since 1979. In her first year as state director, Paula Miles, saw her first Miss South Carolina USA, Shawn Weatherly, win Miss USA and travel to Seoul, South Korea and capture the title of Miss Universe 1980! In 1983, the Miss Teen USA pageant was founded and opened up the Miss Universe Organization to a whole new group of amazing young women. In 1990, RPM took over the state of Louisiana and in 1992 it was awarded the state of North Carolina. After multiple national winners and tremendous long running success, RPM was rewarded once again with the directorship of Alabama in 2011.

What a memory! And the crown still fits! 🫶 #missteenusa #rpmforthewin #repost • @vanessalachey That moment your daughter realizes you WERE ACTUALLY Miss Teen USA 1998!!! Brooklyn: “Mama, do you still have the crown & sash?” Me: “You mean this?!!!!!” (Takes crown out of the custom protective case and lining and sash out of hanging bag in a special place of my closet) It started because she told me she was doing a dance at school to @nsync “I want You Back”and I told her that was my swimsuit song for Miss Teen USA. Then we watched my parts, she said my voice sounded funny, we smiled while I was getting crowned and we went to bed hours past her bedtime. These moments will never get old to me. ❤️ I had never done pageants or anything like this before in my life. My state (SC) pageant to get to nationals was my first. I will always be grateful to the confidence and self esteem I gained by accomplishing something by just being “me”. This pageant was the beginning for me. And I am forever grateful. ❤️
