Miss USA 2012 will be held at a venue and specific date to be formally announced by the Miss Universe Organization, the mother company of Miss USA. Fifty-one (51) candidates representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia will fight it out for the crown of Miss USA 2012 and to represent the United States at the Miss Universe 2012 at a venue and specific date to be announced by the Miss Universe Organization.
