A stub article like this could well list other similar contests suitable for further expansion. Pre-eminent among these would be the Miss International Beauty Pageant, which has been running since 1960. Its long-time organizer is the International Cultural Association of Japan, in conjunction (according to the Sri Lankan Sunday Observer [1]) with the Japanese Foreign Ministry.

The pageant uses the taglines: "Festival of Beauty" and "Ambassador of Peace and Beauty" [2]. Held in Long Beach, California, from 1961 to 1965 and in 1967 and 1971, and in Japan in from 1968 to 1970 and 1972 to 2003 (usually in the city hosting the Japan Expo), it is scheduled to be held in Beijing in October 2004.

Miss Venezuela, Goizeder Azua, was crowned Miss International in Tokyo in 2003 from amongst finalists from 45 countries. The winners from 1960 to 1979 have been recorded [3].
