History of Miss Qazaqstan
The Miss Kazakhstan contest began in 1997. It was started by Sovet Seitov. This pageant quickly became the most important beauty contest in Kazakhstan. Many young women from different parts of the country compete for the crown.
The Miss Kazakhstan organization chooses who will represent their country at big international events. For example, they have sent contestants to Miss Universe since 2006, Miss World since 1998, and Miss Earth since 2021.
In 2022, Aiday Isaeva, who was Miss Kazakhstan in 2014 and also represented Kazakhstan at Miss Universe 2014, became the new President of the organization. Around this time, the contest's name was updated to "Miss Qazaqstan," using the local Kazakh language.
How the Competition Works
The Miss Qazaqstan competition usually includes representatives from different parts of Kazakhstan. There are 17 regions and 3 major cities that send their own contestants to compete for the main title.
In the final round, judges choose a Second Runner-up, a First Runner-up, and then three main winners. These three winners are crowned as Miss Earth Qazaqstan, Miss Universe Qazaqstan, and Miss Qazaqstan.
Here are the regions and cities that usually take part:
