History
Miss World 1954 - Antigone Costanda,
Miss World commenced as the Festival Bikini Contest,
in honor of the lately introduced swimwear of the time,
however it was called as Miss World by the press. It was
formerly planned as a one-off event. Upon learning about
the forthcoming Miss Universe pageant, Morley decided
to make the pageant as a yearly event.
The resistance to wear bikinis led to replacement with
more modest swimwear following the first contest. In 1959,
the BBC begins broadcasting this kind of competition.
The pageant's attractiveness grew as the popularity of
television grew.
In the late 1980s, the pageant was repositioned itself
with the slogan Beauty with a Purpose. The contest added
tests of cleverness and with personality skills. By the
1990s, the pageant was attaining two billion viewers from
roughly every country in the world. On the other hand,
the rivalry has been seen as old-fashioned and somewhat
politically incorrect in its native Britain. In spite
of the universal appeal, the pageant was not broadcasted
on any major global British TV network for numerous years,
until the Channel 5 aired it in 1998.

plan, Miss World come about with a "You Decide"

scenes and on the beach, and letting viewers to either
phone in or vote online for their much loved personality.
It as well sells its Talent, "Beach Beauty"
and Sports events with the contestant as television specials
to broadcasters.
In 2002 the rivalry was slated for Abuja, the capital
city of Nigeria. This option was controversial, as a northern
Nigerian woman name Amina Lawal, was expecting death by
stoning for adultery under Sharia law there, but Miss
World chose to make use of the publicity surrounding its
presence to carry better global awareness and action to
Amina's plight.
