Where else can you simultaneously see the collection of the most beautiful girls around the world? Well, of course, at the Miss Universe contest. In different years, the winners of this contest were American, Mexican, Japanese, Australian. A convincing victory of Russia in 2002 was won by the Russian woman Oksana Fedorova.
The first Miss Universe contest was initiated by a swimsuit development and sale firm and was held back in 1952 in California. Initially, representatives of 29 countries took part in the competition. Russia, for example, has been participating in this contest only since the mid-nineties, unlike France, Canada and Germany, which have not missed a single contest in this peculiar beauty contest since the founding of the contest.
Selection
By tradition, participants in the category of "not having a husband and not being pregnant" aged 18 to 27 years after passing the qualifying round in their country are allowed to participate in the competition. 15 candidates selected by the judges in electronic voting and one candidate who received the most votes from the audience go to the finals.
Few people remember, but Miss Universe was just an advertising campaign, a successful marketing move. However, after a couple of years, he became the basis of sales growth in the beauty and entertainment industry, offering housewives Cinderella stories.
Among the contestants there is a fashion show in swimsuits, evening dresses and a contest of questions from judges. By tradition, the most beautiful girl in the world receives a passing diadem, symbolizing her high title, an apartment in New York and an annual contract for events and promotions initiated by the competition committee.
It is interesting that initially the competition was decided to be held only in the United States, and only in 1972 the competition was first held in Puerto Rico, and then in Greece, in Athens. Since then, every year the competition is usually held in various parts of the globe, regularly expanding the geography of its participants.
