Seven Tasmanian girls took part in the event which had more than 500 entrants, chaperone Sue Rees said.
Five Tasmanian girls were named in the top 13.
“Every time a Tasmanian came on to the cat walk everyone cheered. Everyone is just so happy to see that Tassie is represented,” Ms Rees said.
“The girls looked fantastic. They modelled the gowns so well. The girls did Tassie proud. I’m absolutely rapt with them all.”
Chelsea Freestone was named runner up of Miss Teen Australia and Maddison Holder was the People’s Choice winner.
“They could go anywhere now, these girls. It’s fantastic for Tasmania,” Ms Rees said.
In February, about 50 teens took part in the state finals for Miss Teen Australia. It was the first time Tasmania had an event of its own.
In early May, three Tasmanians entered the World Supermodel South Pacific competition in Fiji.
