Miss Great Britain is a female beauty contest. Miss Great Britain 2013 was organised by the new National Director Kate Solomons, director of Leicester-based model & event agency ModelZed Promotions Ltd. Kate became the National Director in November 2012 & has worked within the modelling and pageant industry for over 10 years having previously organised regional & national contests to put winners through to Miss England on behalf of Miss World. One of Kate's first duties in her new role was to change the rules of the contest to allow both married women and mothers to enter the contest; this ruling had been revised in 2010 but had reverted under previous management. These rules currently stand for the 2014 contest. First held in 1945, between 1956 and 1989, Miss Great Britain was held in the seaside resort of Morecambe. It is one of the oldest of its kind in the country. Between 1951 and 1957, the winner of the Miss Great Britain crown would go on to compete at the Miss World pageant. This ended in 1958 when Miss World creator Eric Morley, unhappy at the results of the Miss Great Britain winners at Miss World〔http://www.pageantopolis.com/nat_past/UK.htm〕 ( all seven Miss GB winners that went to Miss World were unplaced ) set up his own domestic contest, the Miss United Kingdom pageant. From 1958 to the end of the 20th century, the winner of Miss UK would compete at Miss World. Some of the international pageants which had been represented by Miss Great Britain were Miss Universe, Miss World, Top Model of the World and Miss Tourism World. The contest has attracted British fashion models such as Harriadnie Beau.〔Tom Jackson, December 23, 2010, Cambs Times, (Fashion designer who has worked with Cheryl Cole backs Fenland teenager’s Miss Great Britain bid ), Accessed June 27, 2014, "..Harriadnie Beau Phipps will enter Miss Great Britain next year with the support of HMH Couture, ..."〕 As opposed to its British counterparts such as Miss England, Miss Northern Ireland, Miss Scotland, Miss Wales, Miss United Kingdom and Miss Universe Great Britain Miss Great Britain is not affiliated with the Miss World Organisation. In 2010, the rules of Miss Great Britain were changed to allow divorced women and single mothers to compete for the first time but shortly reverted; Rachel Hatton was the first divorced woman to compete.〔http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/conversation/archive/2010/04/13/miss-great-britain-lifts-divorce-ban.htm〕 == 2006 event == The 2006 title holder was Preeti Desai who hailed from Cleveland. Desai made history when she became the first ever winner of Indian ethnicity when she replaced the dethroned Danielle Lloyd. Lloyd had lost the crown after stirring up scandals for posing nude for Playboy magazine and dating one of the judges during her participation in the pageant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Playboy pictures )〕 Danielle Lloyd has been re-instated into the Wall of Fame/ Previous winners as of 11 January 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miss Great Britain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
