Formerly called | Miss Teenage Intercontinental (1973–1979) Miss Teen Intercontinental (1979–1982) |
Miss Intercontinental was founded in 1971 based in Panama.[3] In 1973 the pageant was officially called Miss Teenage Intercontinental.[4][5] The parade was organized by Rene Lacle. The contest has its headquarters shared in Germany and Panama. Then in 1979 it was changed to Miss Teen Intercontinental until finally in 1982 the name was changed back to Miss Intercontinental until now.
From 1986 to 1991, Silverbird Group held the franchise of Miss Intercontinental, organizing the pageant in Nigeria from 1986 to 1991. Between 1991 and 1992, the Nigerian company lost the rights to the pageant to a German company, which moved the competition to Germany, and organized it there until 2003.[6][7]
It is a popular contest with a great following in Europe and many African countries it also enjoys some popularity in the Philippines and the Caribbean, however, in most of America and Asia, it is known but little followed. The company that owns the pageant is The Miss Intercontinental Organization SA, which makes up the Miss Intercontinental Organization (MIO, for its acronym in English). This organization maintains trades and schedules the activities that needs of the titleholder as the main image being the acting Miss Intercontinental.
Since 2011, this pageant has been selecting continental regions (specifically by dividing between South America and North America, these being the American continent together) as its name indicates, with only one from each continent reaching the top 5. Miss Intercontinental is considered among the 7 most important beauty pageants in the world. Just like Miss Universe, Miss Intercontinental is also one of the beauty pageants with the largest number of host countries, including the Bahamas, Belarus, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Nigeria, Colombia, Venezuela, Seychelles and China.[8]
