Miss Teen World ( MTW ) is an annual international beauty pageant held in the USA. Due to litigation with Miss World, claiming that the pageant was infringing on their trademark, the new title of the pageant is "The Teen World Competition." Contestants of the pageant include teen girls, with one contestant from each country. The winner is a representative for teen girls around the world. Winners crowned after July 3, 2011 must now be called the Teen World 2012 winner as the word "miss" can no longer be used when introducing her, announcing her or in writing.

It has been confirmed that 32 girls will participate in the 2011 competition.
Pageants for teenagers began in 1958 and today provide the largest source of scholarships for women. There are thousands of pageants for young ladies and some with similar names and crowns. The Miss Teen World Pageant is independently produced by Gaspar Cruz and the Miss Teen World Organization.
Miss Teen World strives to provide each young lady with an experience she will never forget. Personal growth, friendships and scholarships help define their program from other similar "teen" programs. The Miss Teen World pageant competition is the most fair and un-biased pageant for teens. It is not affiliated with any major pageant fan websites, or national organizations that run a "Miss" program for one of the big 4 country pageants.
Gaspar Cruz created and started the Miss Teen World program as an opportunity to create an international teen program like many other international pageants. Gaspar was involved with many other pageant programs and never found one with the same beliefs that he had. He wanted to create a pageant program that consisted of his personal beliefs of integrity and honesty. On August 23, 2008 he created his very first Miss Teen World Pageant, and he would be able to incorporate his beliefs into his pageant. He put together an ethics committee that consisted of doctors, lawyers, and professors, he used a team of different occupations because he wanted to remind everyone involved that they must always be honest, put contestants first, and to always remember that pageants are in the business of making young ladies dreams come true and that as directors, sponsors, staff members and adults, their job is to ensure that the young ladies never stop believing in their dreams.
