IRAQ will Join Miss Universe This Year!!!!
The Miss Iraq
2015 beauty pageant was held in Baghdad on Saturday 19 December, the first
national beauty contest to be held in the country since 1972 when it was ruled
by the predecessor and cousin of Saddam Hussein, President Ahmed Hassan
al-Bakr. The winner was Shaima Qassim, an economics student from Kirkuk.
The Miss Iraq
has been founded in 1972 when the country participated in Miss Universe
history. Wijdan Burhan El-Deen Sulyman was crowned Hasna'a Al-Iraq (or Belle of
Iraq) in 1972 and is the first known Iraqi woman to hold a national beauty
title. She was the first Iraqi Pageant winner to participate in Miss Universe.
In 2015 the
first season after 43 years absence, the official national beauty contest of
Iraq recognized by Ministry of Culture, Tourism & Antiquities has been held
in Baghdad. The Miss Iraq titles set to be three categories which are Miss
Iraq, Iraq's Maiden of Beauty and Mesopotamian Princess. The pageant is
organized by a group of civil activists, leaders from the beauty/fashion
community and with the support of Al-Mada Foundation for Media, Arts &
Culture.
Eight
finalists competed for the crown after at least two dropped out of the
competition after receiving death threats. Organisers tried to stick to
criteria of other international events, but made concessions to cultural
sensitivities. For instance, no swimsuit walk was allowed and the evening
dresses worn by the contestants were all below the knee. However, they were
also prohibited from wearing headscarves.
There are rumors that Iraq will join and
compete in this year's Miss Universe with Miss Iraq 2015 Shaima Qassim as
their representative. But if
you want to know in Shaima instagram you can see she write Miss Universe Iraq
2016, what does it mean?? Will Iraq join Miss Universe this year???
Just wait and
see...
