Miss Europe 1980
The Miss Europe 1980 competition was the twenty-ninth since 1948 organized by the Mondial Events Organization (MEO). It was founded by the French Roger Zeiler and Claude Berr, was based in Paris and arranged the competition until 2002.
The candidates had been selected in their countries of origin by national organizing committees that had concluded license agreements with MEO. It does not always have to be the first place in your national competition.
The event had been postponed from 1979 to March 2, 1980 , so that MEO called her and the winner “Miss Europe 1979/80”. It took place in Puerto de la Cruz on the Canary Islands belonging to Spain . For the first time in its history, the event was held during the day instead of late in the evening or at night as before. There were 20 applicants.
