'Miss Europe' is an annual, regional
beauty pageant among female contestants from the nations of the European continent established at the end of
World War II by
Roger Zeiler of the
French Committee of Elegance and
Claude Berr. Most contestants won their respective national contests for
Miss Universe,
Miss World, and
Miss Earth and participated as supplemental training for their respective competitions. If the titleholders have not succeeded in winning their international titles, titleholders eventually compete for the Miss Europe crown, such as the case of
France's
Elodie Gossuin who placed in the Top 10 at
Miss Universe 2001 yet won the Miss Europe title in the subsequent year.
Recent editions have included contestants from
Israel, and
Lebanon. In fact, its
2001 and
2002 pageants were held in Lebanon, well outside of the geographic boundaries of Europe. The license to the pageant passed on to French production company
Endemol in 2003.
Miss Europe 2006
The casting tour among winners of Ukrainian regional beauty competitions will start in June and will last through July. The final is slated for October to November, 2006. The winner of the competition will be established through balloting by TV audience. According to Omar Arfush, the "Miss Europe - 2006" competition in Kyiv became possible under purchase of the show. He also said that he is on a stage of negotiations with Hollywood actress Sharon Stone to head the jury of the competition.

Blonde Miss France, Alexandra Rosenfeld, on Friday won the Miss Europe 2006 title in the Ukrainian capital which hosted the annual contest for the first time. Rosenfeld, 19, from the southern Languedoc region, was chosen by an international jury headed by Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli.
