Miss Great Britain is the oldest and most prestigious pageant in the UK.
Pageants have enjoyed a well-deserved resurgence in recent years, and Miss Great Britain is ‘the’ competition to be a part of.
Launched in 1945, the competition celebrates its 78th Birthday this year, and we look to celebrate in style at the forthcoming Grand Final.
The final will be an evening of glamour and entertainment celebrating the achievements and shared goals of the 75 grand Finalists. Forty ladies will battle to be crowned Miss Great Britain 2023, and 35 ladies will be competing for the coveted titles of Ms Great Britain & Ms Great Britain Classic.
Miss Great Britain celebrates the accomplishments of each of their finalists, including their all-important charity endeavours and publicity successes. The evening serves not only to crown a new Miss Great Britain and our more recent titles of Ms Great Britain & Ms Great Britain Classic, but to applaud each individual contestant.
An expert panel of judges will be charged with the difficult task of selecting the winner at the Final. The audience will enjoy a spectacular catwalk-style stage show featuring all 75 national finalists, live entertainment and a delicious 3-course meal.
The contest began in the summer of 1945 under the name “Bathing Beauty Queen” and was organised by various seaside resorts into the 1950s and early 1960s. Across the 60’s and 70’s, the pageant industry, in general, hit a new high with the introduction of televised finals and big cash prizes.
Due to this increase in popularity, in recent years, more and more pageant systems have been introduced across the UK, with Miss Great Britain still remaining one of the biggest and best in the industry.
The modern-day Miss Great Britain competition has been built upon an extensive history of successful pageants and has helped launch the careers of many women who entered.
The competition has evolved into much more than a ‘Beauty Pageant’. We look for a lady who embodies all a modern woman should: Strength, intelligence, ambition, integrity and compassion.
Now in its 78th year, Miss Great Britain and the brand is still strong and growing all of the time. Constantly evolving & empowering everything a modern-day “beauty pageant” should be. We don’t restrict on background, career, age or marital status, and we attract thousands of applicants each year. The live final features over 70 of the UK’s most motivated ladies who are supported every step of the way by us as their directors and of course, their loyal family and friends.
