Miss Europe 2002

Svetlana Korolyova, Miss Russia and Miss Europe 2002 (here a picture from 2015).

The Miss Europe 2002 competition was the forty-fourth since 1948 organized by the Mondial Events Organization (MEO). (Several events were canceled). The organization was founded by the French Roger Zeiler and Claude Berr, had its headquarters in Paris and arranged the competition for the last time in 2002. MEO then sold the license to Endemol , an international television production and development company based in the Netherlands.

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.
