Miss Kazakhstan, also known as Miss Qazaqstan (Kazakh: Мисс Қазақстан), is a big national beauty contest in Kazakhstan. It started in 1997. The winners of this contest get to represent Kazakhstan in major international pageants like Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss Earth.

History of Miss Qazaqstan

The Miss Kazakhstan pageant began in 1997. It was started by Sovet Seitov. This contest quickly became the most important beauty pageant in Kazakhstan. It was the first of its kind in the country.

Girls from 17 regions and 3 major cities across Kazakhstan compete for the main crown. Miss Kazakhstan is the official organization that chooses who will represent Kazakhstan in global events. For example, they have sent representatives to Miss World since 1998, Miss Universe since 2006, and Miss Earth since 2021.

In 2022, Aiday Isaeva became the President of Miss Kazakhstan. She was Miss Kazakhstan herself in 2014 and represented her country at Miss Universe 2014. When she took over, the pageant's name was changed to "Miss Qazaqstan" to use the local Kazakh language name.

How the Competition Works

The Miss Qazaqstan competition usually holds smaller contests in different provinces each year. Girls from 17 regions and 3 cities in Kazakhstan then come together to compete in the final event.

At the end of the competition, there are several winners. They announce a Second Runner-up and a First Runner-up. Then, three main winners are chosen: Miss Earth Qazaqstan, Miss Universe Qazaqstan, and Miss Qazaqstan.

Here are the regions and cities that usually take part:
