The Miss Nederland is a national beauty pageant in the Netherlands. The pageant was founded in 1929 in Amsterdam.

History

Former pageant

From 1929 to 1931, the Netherlands held a national pageant in Amsterdam for the first time called "Miss Holland". From 1932 to 1949 the pageant was briefly discontinued and later recommenced in 1951 by the Miss Holland Organization.[1]

In 1951 the Netherlands debuted at the Miss World pageant and the Miss Universe pageant in 1956. The national beauty pageant was called "Miss Holland" from 1950 until 1990, since that year the winner competed at the Miss Universe, while runners-up traditionally competed at the Miss World pageant and the Miss International pageant. Since 1991 it became known as "Miss Nederland" whose winner went on to the Miss World pageant. From 1991 to 2008 the Miss Universe representatives were selected from "Miss Universe Netherlands" pageant. The program was televised live on Veronica television.[2] [3]

Organizers

Miss Nederland Organisation

In 2009, Kim Kötter became the national director of the Netherlands. She competed at the Miss Universe 2002 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Usually, the Miss Nederland titleholder will compete at both the Miss Universe and the Miss World pageant. In 2013, two winners were crowned as the Miss Netherlands Universe and Miss Netherlands World pageant to represent their country at the Miss Universe and Miss World pageants, respectively. In 2016, the Miss Nederland only had the Miss Universe franchise. In 2024, the Miss Nederland gave up the Miss Universe franchise and a new Miss Universe Netherlands pageant was established.

Titleholders

The magazine “Het Leven” (the Life) organised the first Miss Holland pageant. The winners of Miss Holland between 1929 and 1935 attended International Pageant of Pulchritude (Miss Universe) in Galveston, USA. Later from 1991 to 2008 the Miss Universe Nederland pageant was broadcast live on Veronica television. In 2009 Kim Kötter got also the right to send a girl to the Miss World pageant. She also took over the Miss Nederland franchise. Since that year Miss Nederland winner goes to Miss Universe pageant.
