Miss Europe is a popular regional
beauty pageant among female contestants from the nations of the European continent established in 1928 and re-established at the end of
World War II by
Roger Zeiler of the
French Committee of Elegance and
Claude Berr. Most contestants won their respective national contests for
Miss Universe,
Miss World, and
Miss Earth and participated as supplemental training for their respective competitions. If the titleholders have not succeeded in winning their international titles, titleholders eventually compete for the Miss Europe crown, such as the case of
France's
Elodie Gossuin who placed in the Top 10 at
Miss Universe 2001 yet won the Miss Europe title in the subsequent year. The license to the pageant passed on to Dutch production company
Endemol in 2003.
