Smoak Productions became the new director for Miss and Teen pageants in 2019 under executive director and Miss USA 1995 Shanna Moakler.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/MissUTUSA/status/982785728689029121|title=Smoak Productions is pleased to welcome @ShannaMoakler as the 2019 #MissUtahUSA & #MissUtahTeenUSA Executive Director! #MissUSA #MissTeenUSA|publisher=Miss Utah USA on Twitter|date=April 7, 2018|access-date=July 15, 2019}}

Utah is one of the least successful states at Miss Teen USA, having only placed five times. The first placement came in 1995, when Loni Sorden placed 2nd runner-up to Keylee Sue Sanders of Kansas. Utah was the fourth-to-last state (equal) to place at Miss Teen USA. Utah's second placement was in 2009, with Tasha Smedley making the top 15. The third placement was the following year, when Angelia Layton placed 3rd runner-up. In 2012, Keilara McCormick finished in the top 16, in 2017 Rachel Bell placed in the top 15, and in 2018 Madilen Kellogg placed top 10.

Four Utah teens have won the Miss Utah USA title and competed at Miss USA. The most recent of these is Marin Poole, Miss Utah Teen USA 2002 and Miss Utah USA 2005, who is also part of Red Curtain Productions. All three Miss Utah Teen USA winners who won the Miss Utah Teen USA titles went on to place at Miss USA like the Miss North Carolina USA titleholders.

Anjolie Karmen of Salt Lake City was crowned Miss Utah Teen USA 2023 on July 8, 2023 at Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City. However, she relinquished the title and was replaced by her first runner-up Jocelyn Osmond of Alpine on August 4, 2023, and she will represent Utah for the title of Miss Teen USA 2023.
