The United Nations Pageants are a series of annual beauty pageants. In spite of the name, it is not associated with or organized by the United Nations. It is run by L. N. Williams, its Co-Founder/President and owner of World Beauty Pageant Association.
The first event was held in the United States in 1996. The pageant began with the idea of having women from all walks of life dedicate their time to charity. It now includes six pageants: Elite United Nations International (ages 50 and up); Mrs. United Nations International (ages 21–49); Ms. United Nations International (ages 30–49); Miss United Nations International (ages 18–29); Teen Miss United Nations International (ages 13–17); and Mr. United Nations International.
