Miss Denmark (Danish: Miss Danmark or Frøken Danmark) is a national Beauty pageant in Denmark.

Organization

The Miss Danmark pageant was established in 1926 when the country hosted its first national beauty contest whose winner was Edith Jørgensen. Between 1951 and 2003, Miss Denmark/Frøken Danmark selected one winner to represent Denmark at several major international beauty competitions. Among the famous Miss Danmarks include Aino Korva, Miss Danmark 1963.

From 1986 until 2013, Memborg models operated the contest. In 2015, the rights to hold the Miss Denmark national beauty pageant have been purchased by Lisa Lents of Miss & Mister Denmark Org. The winner of Miss Denmark from now on will compete only at Miss World.[1]

Notes

So far, no Dane has ever won Miss World; the closest to the crown was Pia Rosenberg Larsen in 1986, when she placed as the 1st Runner-up to the eventual winner, Giselle Laronde of Trinidad & Tobago.

This pageant is unrelated to Face of Denmark, which sends representatives to Miss Universe, Miss Earth, Miss International, Miss Supranational and Miss United Continent
