[edit] History
There has been no official Miss Bangladesh contest, recognised by an international organisation, after 2001. However, there have been some national contests (notably Miss Bangladesh Photogenic) and some organised by modelling agencies that award the Miss Bangladesh title. This page is a collection of the result of these uncoordinated contests, especially the few recognised by the world body.
1994: The first Miss Bangladesh contest was organized: however, the national press either gave it scanty coverage or blanked it out, for fear of offending the conservative section of orthodox society.
1994: Anika Taher was the first to represent Bangladesh at the Miss World pageant. This one was held in Sun City, South Africa and this was where Aishwarya Rai was crowned Miss World.
1996: Chitra represented Bangladesh at the Miss World in Bangalore, India
1998: Miss Bangladesh, Shaila Simi (RJ on Radio Today fm89.6) has also hosted RTV-"Tarokalap" which is a live talk show. Now, Simi is visiting the UK, and is also visiting Canada to help autistic and mentally challenged people.
1999 Tania Rahman Tonni participated in Miss World 1999.
2000: Sonia Gazi participated in the Miss World contest held in London.
2001: Tabassum Ferdous Shaon, who participated at Miss World held at South Africa was the last delegate from Bangladesh in an international contest
The Miss Bangladesh World was discontinued after 2001 because of security issues, after fundamentalist Islamist groups called for a ban on these beauty pageants.
2005: Lux Channel i Supertstar rose to fill the vaccum. It has been soldiering on ever since. The winner gets to play the female lead in a Bangladeshi feature film. It remains Bangladesh’s main national beauty contest.
2007: Bidya Sinha Saha Mim, later a model and actress in Bangladesh, won the Lux Channel i Supertstar contest.
