History
Miss Guinea is a beauty contest for Guinean women aged 18 to 25 who are at least 1.70 meters tall. The winner is awarded the annual title of Miss Guinea. The contest was first created in 1986, but it was suspended in 1987, only to be revived in 2008. It was again suspended for two years in 2017 and 2018. Each edition of the contest is broadcast on television.
The final, held during a national ceremony and broadcast live on television in the evening, involves a jury composed of artistic, sports, or media personalities, along with votes from viewers, to elect the selected candidate. The winner will hold the title of "Miss Guinea" for an entire year. The candidates are the "Regional Misses," chosen to represent the regions of Guinea and other competitions.
Beginning 2023 Aminata Diallo and team from KPAAF Guinée organized the Miss Guinea beauty pageant and in 2024, the winner of the title is expected to compete at Miss Universe 2024 pageant.{{cite web|url= https://www.dn-africa.com/news/20231001-kpaaf-guinee-organize-the-guineas-biggest-beauty-pageant-miss-guinea-by-aminata-diallo-and-binta-diallo/|title= KPAAF Guinée organize the Guinea’s biggest beauty pageant Miss Guinea by Aminata Diallo and Binta Diallo|publisher= cameroon-concord|website= dn-africa.com|date=6 October 2023}}
