About Us
Miss Teen Doral is a dynamic beauty pageant where three queens, Mini, Pre-Teen, and Teen are selected to proudly represent the City of Doral. This exciting event is presented by Councilwoman Maureen Porras and produced by Taller en Acción, in collaboration with RatedTen and Miss Cuba Pageantry.
We are committed to empowering young girls who are talented, motivated, and reflective of the modern woman, confident, driven, and unafraid to break stereotypes while redefining traditional pageantry. Miss Teen Doral is more than a competition; it is a platform that fosters personal growth, leadership, and meaningful community involvement.
Throughout the experience, contestants participate in a variety of unique and engaging activities. From filming at different locations to promote local businesses and organizations, to competing in obstacle courses, talent presentations, and interviews with the judges, each element is designed to build confidence and character. All scores are carefully evaluated and combined to determine the winners of the prestigious crowns.
