Historical overview
File:Miss Ukraine 08 Irina Zhuravskaya.jpg
The first national pageant Miss Ukraine became an 18-year-old university student Olha Ovcharenko/Rechdouni, who was also a semi-finalist in "Miss USSR" beauty pageant, and the first runner-up in 1990 Miss Kyiv beauty pageant. The participants of Miss Ukraine would qualify to represent Ukraine on the international level such as the Big Four Pageants, Miss Intercontinental, and continental beauty contests. Miss Universe contest usually was attended by the first runner-up of Miss Ukraine but sometimes the winner can also compete. The national beauty contest was reorganized after Miss Ukraine Organization lost its franchise to one of the former pageant winners Oleksandra Nikolayenko (2001). Since 2006, Oleksandra Nikolayenko organizes Miss Ukraine Universe concourse as qualification to Miss Universe independently.
The contest takes place out of 26 candidates from all the regions of Ukraine. The major regional contests are Miss Kyiv, Miss Odesa, Miss Donbass, Miss Western Ukraine and Bukovina, Miss Dnipropetrovsk, and others.
In 2002 Miss World 2002 was attended by the first runner-up of Miss Ukraine Iryna Udovenko as the winner of the national contest Yelena Stohniy was over the age restriction to participate on the international level.
Since 2005, Miss Ukraine has been broadcast every year by one of the leaders of the national TV-networks Inter.
In 2010, the Ukrainian National pageant took place on September 4. The winner received a crown estimated at 250,000 euros, a Renault car, and various make-up products.
