For the first time ever, the Miss USA Pageant is sponsoring a nationwide search on social media for the next Miss USA. We already have 51 contestants - one from each state, and the District of Columbia, but one is being added this year, and it could be YOU!

The Miss USA contest began in 1952, and determines who from the United States will be represented at the Miss Universe Pageant. The contest has been held at the Baton Rouge River Center for the last two years, and of course we have Miss USA 1996 from right here in Breaux Bridge, LA - Ali Landry!

Watch the video below to find out how you can enter, and pass it along to any future Miss USA's you might know! This is the great thing about America - anyone could win, and it could be YOU.

The Miss USA Pageant will air live Sunday, June 5 (8:00 CST) on Fox.
