Miss Fiji

In 1956, the Miss Fiji Pageant Association was established under the auspices of the local government and Fiji Airways, marking a significant moment in the nation's cultural and social history. This event was previously known as the Miss Hibiscus National Pageant, which had been a cherished tradition in Fiji, celebrating the beauty, talent, and cultural heritage of Fijian women. The first Miss Fiji crowned was Liebling Marlow, who set a high standard for future contestants with her grace and poise.

The pageant evolved over the years, gaining prestige and becoming a vital platform for young women to showcase their abilities and represent their country on the global stage. In 1979, Fiji made its debut in the Miss Universe pageant with Tanya Whiteside as its representative. This milestone was a proud moment for the nation, as it highlighted Fiji's growing presence in the international pageantry scene and provided a unique opportunity for its contestants to engage with diverse cultures and global audiences.

Since then, the Miss Fiji pageant has continued to be a significant event, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage and the aspirations of its people. The collaboration with organizations like Fiji Airways underscores the importance of national pride and international representation, helping to elevate the status of the pageant and its participants.{{Cite web|title = The 1st Miss Hibiscus-Mrs. Liebling Marlow (nee Hoeflich)|url = https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-hibiscus-festival-fiji/the-1st-miss-hibiscus-mrs-liebling-marlow-nee-hoeflich/197746026927412|website = www.facebook.com|access-date = 2015-11-15}}

In 2024, Manshika Prasad was initially named the winner only to be told two days later that the title's winner was Nadine Roberts. Miss Universe Fiji, run by Lux Projects, issued a press release saying that Prasad had been chosen in a rigged vote which favoured a “Fiji Indian” contestant to win because it would bring financial benefits to the event's manager. However, media reported that Roberts had been married to Jamie McIntyre, a man closely associated with Lux Projects.{{Cite news|title =A beauty pageant turned ugly: The alleged plot to steal a queen's crown |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn7lnny4y0mo |date=9 September 2024 |work=BBC News}} The Miss Universe Organization went on to reappoint Prasad as the winner following an investigation.{{Cite news|title =Drama continues : Miss Universe Fiji 2024 is Manshika Prasad and will go to Miss Universe in Mexico |url=https://www.fijivillage.com/news/Drama-continues--Miss-Universe-Fiji-2024-is-Manshika-Prasad-and-will-go-to-Miss-Universe-in-Mexico-4x5f8r/ |date=6 September 2024 |work=Fiji Village}}
