Miss Progress International is an annual international beauty pageant that promotes projects related to Health, Human Rights, and the Environment. It was established in 2010 in Italy.

The primary goal of the event is to implement the winning project by organizing a fundraising effort, in collaboration with the winner, to cover the necessary costs.

The current titleholder is Odalis Soza from Nicaragua. She was crowned on November 2023 at the Mercato delle Idee in Muro Leccese, in the province of Lecce, Italy.[1]

History

[edit]

The organization is managed by the Associazione Culturale In Progress based in Carosino, Italy, which also holds the copyrights to the pageant. Each national director selects contestants through regional and national competitions to represent their country as the national Ambassador of Progress. The first edition of Miss Progress International took place from September 19 to 26, 2010, in Puglia, Italy, with support from the European Union, and the moral patronage of the Italian Ministry of Tourism, the Regione Puglia, and the municipalities of Taranto and Ostuni.[2] Due to health issues faced by one of the founders of Associazione Culturale In Progress, the event was suspended until 2014, when the second edition was held from May 9 to 18, once again in Puglia, and received formal recognition from the President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano.[3][4][5][6]

All nine editions of Miss Progress International have been held in Puglia, a region recognized by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the world. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the organizers to suspend the event and postpone the eighth edition from 2020 to 2021.[7]
