Miss World is the title of an elected beauty queen , which has been awarded every year since 1951 through a beauty pageant . The candidates are selected in national competitions and after a media campaign the most beautiful woman is chosen as queen for one year. The title is associated with numerous prizes and at the same time with obligations to the sponsors and prize donors of the competitions.

Until 1988 the election always took place in London . From 1981 to 2004, continental beauty queens were also determined as part of this event, with the title Queen of in front of the name of the continent, for example Queen of Europe .

As a competition event to the Miss World election there is, among other things, the election of the Miss Universe . Male candidates have the chance to vote for Mister World .

The countries with the most victories are Venezuela and India , each with six winners. Then come Jamaica and Great Britain with four (unless you take into account the victory of Brit Helen Morgan in 1974, who returned the title several days later), and Iceland , Sweden and the USA with three each.

With two Austrians and two Germans, four and three winners respectively come from the German-speaking countries : Petra Schürmann ( Germany , 1956), Eva Rueber-Staier ( Austria , 1969), Gabriella Brum (Germany, 1980, resigned after one day), Ulla Weigerstorfer (Austria, 1987).

Remarks

  1. a b c The original winner, Gabriella Brum from Germany, resigned the day after her election. According to her own information, her friend Bellenbaum was against her associated obligations; later publications state that there were nude photos of her (e.g. Veit Didczuneit, Dirk Külow: Miss Germany. The German beauty queen. S & L MedienContor, Hamburg, 1998; ISBN 3-931962-94-6 . P. 137: Miss World for one day: Gabriella Brum, Miss Germany 1980, "... When nude photos of her later appeared, she had to return the title. For this she married the photographer of these pictures."). She married Bellenbaum a few months later, so that, according to the statutes, she should have returned the title by then at the latest. The second placed Kimberley Santos from Guam took her place.
  2. a b The original winner, Helen Morgan of Great Britain, resigned five days after the victory. Criticism had arisen because the winner was an unmarried mother of an infant. Second-placed Anneline Kriel from South Africa took her place.
