From elegant make-up to stunning dresses, competing in beauty pageants is the most powerful way to make a woman feel like a princess. One of the most prestigious beauty pageants in the world is Miss World. Apart from focusing on beauty and talent, this beauty content also encourages women to become versatile individuals by encouraging them to be involved in important world issues and global activism.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Meet the Qualification Prerequisites
Step 1. Make sure you meet the gender requirements
Even if men have the option to compete in Mister World, you must legally have a female gender to compete in Miss World. Until then, transgender women were allowed to represent their country in the Miss World pageant, but could not win it. The regulations regarding this are constantly changing.
The rules about who can enter this contest vary from country to country. Some countries require prospective participants to have a female gender from birth. Make sure you check the current regulations
Step 2. Make sure you have the nationality of the country you wish to represent
Even if you don't have to be born in the country you represent, you must have legal citizenship documents. Citizenship can be obtained through a permanent residence permit or naturalization.
Step 3. Register for the Miss World competition when you are between 17 and 27 years old
Be sure to verify the official age change date as the rules may vary from country to country. Some countries allow you to participate in the preliminary round as long as you reach the minimum age at the time of the international contest.
Minimum age requirements vary by country. In the United States, applicants must be between 18 and 26 years of age
Step 4. Make sure you have the title “Miss” (Miss) by not marrying and having children
Most countries define “unmarried” status as a condition when you have never been married at all, whether religiously, ethnically, or civilly. The state of Ireland considers legal ceremonies performed in secret as a factor causing disqualification.
Step 5. Prove yourself as a good citizen with a clean legal record
Miss World requires the participants to be clear of legal problems or past criminal records. Countries usually also impose strict rules to maintain reputation and good name so that people who become representatives cannot embarrass themselves, their country, and the competition as a whole.
Countries such as Canada also prohibit the participation of candidates who have published hot photos in any context during their lifetime
Method 2 of 3: Becoming a Country Representative
Step 1. Get to know the ins and outs of a beauty pageant by watching the event
Whether you're watching the show on television or in person, be sure to learn the beauty pageant system. This will help you understand what can give you an edge and what causes problems.
Don't just focus on the big competition. Look for beauty content information in your area and go there. If possible, talk to some of the contestants and ask for advice on how to improve yourself
Step 2. Test your insight by participating in a local beauty contest
Once you know your expectations of beauty pageants, learn through practice by getting on stage. There is no more powerful way to learn your limits than by testing them.
- Not everyone has a coach or parent who supports taking part in beauty pageants. If you have questions about how to participate in a competition and the required competencies, seek information on how to enter a beauty pageant.
- You can also look for other women with the same aspirations. Combine your knowledge and work together to pave the way to your dreams.
Step 3. Register as a country representative
Sometimes, registration is very simple, such as entering contact information, age, and photo. Other registration methods require more details, such as your home address and job information.
- Make sure you check the requirements that are specific to your country or area. If any of the requirements are unclear, contact the contest committee for more detailed directions.
- Some states require you to pay an administration fee to register. The United States charges a fee of 250 dollars (about 3 million rupiah) to register, plus an administration fee of 10 dollars (about 140 thousand rupiah).
Step 4. Be prepared to explain what your strengths are to enter the competition
During the interview in the preliminary round, you must explain what value it will bring as a Miss World participant at the national and international level. Even if some interviews are part of a beauty pageant, there are countries that skip this step, for example the United States. The country will use participant photos and video interviews to select Miss World candidates.
Activism and global insight are the main requirements for Miss World. Be prepared to explain in detail about your involvement in issues in the world, as well as what you have done for local and global communities. You will be asked to design an activism project if you are selected as the winner of the Miss World pageant
Step 5. Get ready for a series of beauty contests
Even though the jury in the United States selects candidates based solely on interviews, several countries including Indonesia have domestic beauty contests to determine their representatives in the Miss World event.
- Not all beauty contests are made to find representatives of the country in the Miss World pageant. The Miss World event in South Africa is a competition created to find representatives in the Miss Universe and Miss World events. The second place winner in the competition will represent the country at the Miss World event. Make sure you know the rules and expectations of the contest you are participating in.
- Be prepared to face the test as it is done at the national level event. This test may include assessments in terms of burn, fitness, and global insight.
Method 3 of 3: Win the Competition
Step 1. Prove that you are beautiful inside and out
“Beauty with a Purpose” is the ultimate goal of activism in the Miss World competition. Women participating in this event should launch a project aimed at making money and raising awareness for poor people around the world. The topics discussed varied widely, ranging from clean water procurement initiatives, donations for natural disasters, and providing basic needs for the poor. Finalists in the Beauty with a Purpose competition will automatically enter the final round.
Step 2. Be active in the digital world
Women who become Miss World are encouraged to be active on social media. They could even get a place in the finals because of the quality of their social media content. Make sure your social media accounts are not only active, but also directly involved with the people and environment in which you live.
Step 3. Amaze the judges with your impressive talent
If you have a unique skill or hobby, you might be able to turn it into an advantage. Be sure to stand out from the crowd by doing something that only you can do.
Don't be afraid to think outside the box. While many competitors have common talents such as singing and dancing, there are others who choose a “different path” by displaying unique talents such as the art of sand drawing
Step 4. Show your elegance at the modeling competition
Contestants are judged on their glamorous charm and aura on stage when wearing an evening gown. Wear unique clothes that represent your personality and background.
If you don't like how you look at the beach, don't worry. The Miss World pageant has now eliminated the swimsuit competition
Step 5. Be prepared to sweat during a physical fitness test
Competitors from all countries will go through a series of rigorous training to achieve the best level of fitness. The winner of this competition can outperform his competitors by getting a place in the final.
Not all elements of the test are taken from individual fitness tests. The winner of the sports competition is selected from the team that won the competition. Don't forget to support other women
Step 6. Go through the main round of the competition by showing your inner beauty
Regardless of whether you win the competition via the fast lane, there is still a way to get to the next round. During the head to head challenge round, competitors will get various questions about their background. Be prepared to answer questions about what you have done for your country and how you are taking it to a global level. Spectators from all over the world can vote to select the contestants who are eligible to advance to the next round.
As with other categories, the number of competitors advancing to the next stage varies based on the number of participants participating
Step 7. Captivate the judges in the final round
Once you get to the final round, you will be judged on your overall performance. This means that all aspects of the competition will be taken into account. Everything that you have shown so far, from talent, fitness, and all other aspects will be assessed to determine whether you deserve to be a winner.
