I want to say:
Cutest Girl on YouTube Contest
should it be "Cutest Girl in YouTube Contest"?
I'm confused if I should use "in" or "on".

sgc and asdfg and Guy are right.
The correct form should read: "Cutest Girl in (the) (YouTube) Contest"
The girl is IN the contest, not on it. YouTube descriptive adjectives about the contest.

If it's refering to a contest in which the cutest girl featured in a video will win, it's "Cutest Girl on YouTube Contest" bcause she is featured ON the site, not IN the site.

"The Cutest Girl on Youtube Contest" is correct.
In YouTube would still make sense, but it sounds awkward because you are never in a website, you're always on a website. (I know of no other explanation, sorry. English is troublesome.)

it's in........if the sentence ended with You Tube it would be on but You Tube is the adjective describing the contest so it's in. whenever in doubt say the sentence without the descriptive adjectives....cutest girl in contest....

On. On tv, on the Internet, and on YouTube.

Use the preposition "on" to be grammatical.

if you say on then it would seem as if she is on it like sitting on something but to me in means to be inside or to pretain to.
