List of Beauty Pageants

A Beauty Contest, or Beauty Pageant, is a competition based mainly, though not always entirely, on the physical beauty of its contestants, and often incorporating personality, talent demonstration, and question responses as judged criteria.

Almost invariably, competitions for men and women are separate events, and those for men are not referred to as beauty contests.

Beauty contests for women are more common, and winners are called beauty queens.

This is an international list of beauty pageants around the world.
