Miss Great Britain

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miss Great Britain is a national beauty pageant in Great Britain that was first organized in the summer of 1945 under the name Bathing Beauty Queen by the council of the coastal town of Morecambe together with the newspaper Sunday Dispatch . It has had its current name since 1956.

In 1971 the competition was broadcast for the first time on regional television Yorkshire Television . The mode was changed for this: After the bathing suit parade, there was a round in day and evening clothes, and finally the coronation ceremony.

In the early 1990s the title was bought by the new Miss Great Britain organization . The winner has since participated in the Miss Tourism World election, the other finalists in the competitions for Model of the World , Miss Bikini , Miss Internet , Model of the Universe and Miss Millionaire . (These competitions are all run by one organization).

Miss United Kingdom is a competing competition . It has existed under this name since 1960. Its forerunner was briefly called Miss Great Britain. (Not to be confused with the competition of the same name mentioned above). The winners take part in the Miss World election. (Since 1999, however, the winners of the individual parts of England, Scotland, etc. separately).

Miss Universe Great Britain is used to determine the candidates for Miss Universe . The competition was originally called Miss Great Britain Universe when it was first held in 1952. In 2005 the title was renamed Miss United Kingdom Universe and soon afterwards - in 2008 - to Miss Universe UK and a year later to Miss Universe Great Britain . The competition represents the British overseas territories , crown holdings of the British crown , regions of England , administrative districts of Northern Ireland , unitary authorities in Scotland and unitary authorities in Wales .

When Miss Great Britain Universe was launched in 1952, 30 young women from the United Kingdom were running. But from 1953 to 1990 England, Scotland and Wales competed separately in the Miss Universe. From 1992 to 2000 the overall competition was revived. In the following years 2001 to 2004 no representative of the UK took part in the Miss Universe. From 2005, the competition was organized by the Welsh modeling agency Vibe Models after renaming .

The fourth major beauty pageant is for the Miss England title . The winners already took part in the Miss Europe election before the Second World War , and later also ran for Miss World and Miss Universe . In addition, they have also been participating in the Miss Great Britain and Miss United Kingdom regional winners since the 1950s , so that one can only speak of a competitive competition to a limited extent. The current host has been organizing this event since 1999.
