Remarks
- ↑ In 1948 and 1950 Miss Finland was elected for a 2-year period.
- ↑ The real winner in 1960 was Heli Heiskala. But when last year's winner, Tarja Nurmi, wanted to put the crown on her, the jury changed her mind: Tarja Nurmi should wear her for another year because she was more beautiful! This did not comply with the regulations and provoked a scandal. However, this decision is confirmed in the official list, with Tarja Nurmi as the winner and Heli Heiskala as the vice-miss.
