Big Four international beauty pageants
The Big Four or the Big League Pageants[1] refers to the four major international beauty pageants for women – Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss International and Miss Earth.[2][3][4][5][6] The group was first described by the China Daily newspaper in 2004 as "the world's four major beauty contests".[7][8] In April 2008, the South China Morning Post described them as "four of the world's top beauty pageants";[9] the same description was also used by South Korea's leading newspaper, Chosun Ilbo in 2010.[10] In 2017, the Latin Times considered the group as the "most important pageants in the world".[11] In 2018, NBC News referred to them as the "four biggest international pageants",[12] while Agencia EFE delineated them in 2019 as the "four most influential beauty pageants in the world".[13][14][15]
The Big Four beauty pageants
Hundreds of thousands of beauty contests are held annually,[16] but the Big Four are considered the most prestigious,[17] widely covered and broadcast by media.[18] The Wall Street Journal,[2] BBC News,[19] CNN,[20][21] Xinhua News Agency,[22] and global news agencies such as Reuters,[23][24] Associated Press[25] and Agence France-Presse[26][27] collectively refer to the four major pageants as "Big Four" namely:
- Miss World is the oldest existing major international beauty pageant.[28][29] It was created in the United Kingdom by Eric Morley in 1951.[30][31] Since Morley's death in 2000, his widow, Julia Morley, co-chairs the pageant.[32][33]
- Miss Universe is an annual international beauty contest that is run by the Miss Universe Organization.[34][35][36] The contest was founded in 1952 by California clothing company Pacific Mills.[37][38] The pageant became part of Kayser-Roth and then Gulf+Western Industries, before being acquired by Donald Trump in 1996,[39][40] WME/IMG in 2015,[33][41] and currently owned by Thai-based JKN Global Group in 2022.[42][43]
- Miss International, also called "Miss International Beauty",[44] is a Tokyo-based international beauty pageant organized by The International Culture Association. The pageant was first held in 1960.[45][46]
- Miss Earth is an annual international environmental-themed beauty pageant promoting environmental awareness organized by Philippine-based Carousel Productions through the Miss Earth Foundation and was first held in 2001.[47][48] The pageant is affiliated and works on projects with other institutions, including Greenpeace, World Wildlife Foundation, and United Nations Environment Program.[33][49][50]
