Miss European is a Beauty Pageant of between 95 to 100 contestants aged 16 to 30 from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Wales, Ireland, Malta and in 2011 both Scotland and Portugal joined the contest. The pageant was founded by Claude Pasbbecq in France in 1996 as Miss International. It changed its name to Miss Euroregion in 1999 and became Miss European in 2006. In 2013 Georgia joined making it one of the biggest beauty pageants in the world. The contest involves 3 rounds where contestants take part in Clubwear, Swimwear and an Evening Dress round. There is also a Team Dance which must include all team members. This is judged separately. This part of the contest has become increasingly popular. There is usually an entry fee which means you will need to cover the cost of your trip, which differs between each country. Cost of dresses, jewellery, shopping etc. is contestants own responsibility. ==Winners== This pageant was dominated by the French and Belgian contestants who had won the title every year between 1996 and 2004.
