Miss Denmark

Miss Denmark (Danish: Miss Danmark, lit.'Frøken Danmark') is a national beauty pageant in Denmark. The pageant was founded in 1926, and the winners are sent to Miss World and other titleholders to Miss International, Miss Supranational, Miss Grand International, Miss Earth and Miss Cosmo.

The Miss Danmark pageant was established in 1926 when the country hosted its first national beauty contest, whose winner was Edith Jørgensen. Between 1951 and 2003, Miss Denmark/Frøken Danmark selected one winner to represent Denmark at several major international beauty competitions. Among the famous Miss Danmarks include Aino Korva, Miss Danmark 1963.[citation needed]

From 1986 until 2013, Memborg models operated the contest. In 2015, the rights to hold Miss Denmark were purchased by Miss World Denmark 2008 Lisa Lents of Miss & Mister Denmark Org. From 2015, the winner of Miss Denmark only competes at Miss World.

In 2013, the organization obtained the Miss Earth franchise license where they sent representatives in 2013 and 2014. After a few years break, they were back at working with Miss Earth in 2017 and 2018.[citation needed]

In 2018, the organization obtained the Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Grand International and Miss Supranational franchise licenses. Since 2022, the winner of the pageant goes to Miss Universe, while the second place goes to Miss World.[citation needed]

Between 1986 and 1995 Bo Andersen handled the Miss Universe Denmark franchise. From 1996 until 2013, Memborg Models with Lene Memborg operated the franchise. Starting in 2018, Lisa Lents took over the Miss Universe Denmark franchise. The winner of Miss Universe Denmark independent competition was held for the first time in 2019. In 2018 the Miss World Denmark 2016, Helena Heuser won the pageant.[citation needed]

At Miss Universe 2024, Victoria Kjær Theilvig became the first Danish woman to win the Miss Universe title.

Supermodel Helena Christensen began her career in 1986 as Miss Universe Denmark. In the same year, Pia Rosenberg Larsen won Miss Denmark and competed at Miss International, where she placed as first runner-up. In 1993, T.V. personality and actress Maria Hirse won Miss Universe Denmark, but like Helena Christensen, was unplaced at Miss Universe.
