Miss Globe International
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miss Globe International, also known simply as Miss Globe, is a beauty pageant which is annually held in eastern Mediterranean region.
Much of the pageant's history and related information remain sketchy. For example, the website claims that the 2004 pageant edition was its 31st, while several editions were also held on American soil. However, such information remain unavailable for scrutiny and verification. The number of delegates per edition, and even the name of the winners for some years, remain a mystery. These inconsistencies have led to minimal publicity of the pageant, as well as the lack of interest by international pageant enthusiasts.
The current website contains many spelling mistakes, and the list of " P A R T E C I P A N T S " seems to be from 2004.
The present titleholder is Viviana Lisbeth Ramos Puma of Venezuela, who was crowned in October 1 in Albania.
