Miss South Dakota
The Miss South Dakota competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the U.S. state of South Dakota in the Miss America pageant.
When Alaska won the Miss America 2022 title, South Dakota is one of the few states along with Maine, West Virginia and Wyoming that has yet to win a Miss America, Miss USA, or Miss Teen USA title.
Jamee Kattner of Huron was crowned Miss South Dakota 2025 on May 31, 2025, at South Dakota State University in Brookings, South Dakota. She competed for the title of Miss America 2026.
