A beauty contest

A beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is a competition based mainly on the physical beauty of its contestants,

although such contests often incorporate personality, talent, and answers to judges' questions as judged criteria.

The phrase almost invariably refers only to contests for women; similar events for men are called by other names and are more likely to be "body building" contests. Winners of beauty contests are often called beauty queens.

The First Pageant was in 2005. The winner in 2005 was Miss Brisbane, Australia. The Previous winner was Miss Bangkok, Thailand in 2009.

These pageants, organized by Alex Liu, used to be held within three weeks of each other, with some of the contestants representing cities, not countries competing in both.

International Model of the Year (IMOTY) is a model contest, while Global Beauty Queen (GBQ) is a beauty contest.

After the 2007 event it was decided to hold IMOTY as a separate pageant, finally held in 2009. Also in 2009 GBQ was held jointly with a new pageant, Miss International Beauty, due to circumstances in China beyond the control of the organizers.
