Miss Lebanon - Lebanon's Official National Beauty Pageant (Arabic: انتخابات ملكة جمال لبنان) is the national beauty contest of Lebanon.
History
Miss Lebanon has been broadcast on Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBCI) since 1991. It is currently organised by the Lebanese Tourism Services. The pageant has been cancelled a few times due civil wars, conflicts with Israel and lack of protection for the delegates. The official winner represents Lebanon at the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants.
