The first Miss Egypt contest was held in 1927. Charlotte Wassef won the competition in 1934[1] and was also crowned Miss Universe 1935 in Brussels.[2][3] The only Miss Egypt winner that held the title of Miss World was Antigone Costanda, who was Miss Egypt 1954 and Miss World the same year.
In its 2012 – 2013 edition the pageant was cancelled due to revolutionary conflicts in Egypt.[citation needed]
In 2014, Miss Egypt returns after two years absence, organized by Miss Egypt Organization Face to face (modelling agency), Let's Take Care of the Planet (Youssef Spahi), the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, and the Egyptian Tourism Authority.[4] On 27 of August, 2014, the first auditions were held at Sofitel Cairo El Gezirah Hotel, with 79 girls from across the country.
