Miss Belarus 2020: Selection rounds underway all over the country

Miss Belarus 2020: Selection rounds underway all over the country
23 Nov 2019

Regional castings for the nation’s most prestigious beauty pageant, Miss Belarus 2020, kicked off on 1 November and will be ongoing till the end of December. The contest is taking place in the country for the 12th time. This bi-annual event draws the most charming and determined girls from all over Belarus. Grodno Oblast is so far the most successful region having won three crowns (in 1998, 2010, 2014). Minskers, and residents of Brest Oblast, Mogilev Oblast and Vitebsk Oblast have won the contest twice.

The regional selection round has already taken place in Brest, Novopolotsk and Mogilev. In Mogilev Oblast 42 out of 64 candidates proceeded to the final round, more than in other regions so far.

Miss Belarus contestants must be at least 18 years of age and under 24 years of age on the date of the national pageant final. They should be at least 174 cm tall. Contestants should also be Belarusian nationals permanently residing in Belarus. Contestants must not have ever been married nor given birth to, or parented a child. Pageant girls must not have body piercing and tattoos, either.

However, there is exception to every rule, said head of the Nagorny Models school and jury member Tatyana Polozkova. “If a girl is 172 cm tall, but she is charming, not camera-shy, has a positive vibe, interesting hobbies or talents, we will give her a chance, because she will be a good choice for the national round,” she noted.

The winner will be crowned at the grand final that will take place in Minsk in May. The crown will be handed over by Miss Belarus 2018 Maria Vasilevich who was among the continental queen winners at the Miss World 2018 pageant. She won the Miss World Europe title and made it to the top 5 together with contestants from Mexico, Jamaica, Thailand and Uganda.
