The Miss Earth 2002 pageant was held in Quezon City, Philippines on the 20th of October, 2002. In its second year, 53 delegates participated, exceeding the number of contestants Miss International 2002 had (47), thereby becoming the world's third biggest international pageant.
Džejla Glavović of Bosnia-Herzegovina won the coveted title that year, also receiving Miss Talent. However, on May 28, 2003, the Miss Earth Foundation officially dethroned her for "violation of organization's rule and failure to perform required duties"[1]. 1st Runner-up from Kenya, Winfred Omwakwe, took over the position of Miss Earth 2002.
