History
[edit]The first Miss Estonia was elected in April 1923, her name was Sinaida Tamm. The competition was arranged by "Estonia Film" and the main aim was to find a new actress. In 1925 the competition was arranged by a major newspaper "Päevaleht". In 1931, Lilli Silberg was the first runner-up at the Miss Europe contest in Paris. In 1932, Nadezda Peedi-Hoffmann was elected Miss Estonia and she held the title for 56 years, until 1988, when Heli Mets was awarded the title. Since then Estonia has had 15 beauty queens.[1] Miss Estonia has been participating in the Miss Universe pageant since 1993, starting with Kersti Tänavsuu.
Cancellation
[edit]In 2019, the Eesti Miss beauty pageant was cancelled due to the lack of supporters for the annual project.
