Defying Convention: The Strangest Beauty Pageants on the Planet

“Miss Zombie”

Miss “Cholita Pacena”

Women of Andean origin aged 18 to 22 are invited to compete in this Bolivian competition designed to instill pride in the culture of indigenous women. They are required to perform in the Aymara language.

Miss “Makeup Free”

In contrast to traditional beauty pageants that feature vibrant makeup, “Miss Makeup Free” stands out as an unusual beauty contest. Contrary to popular belief, participants in this competition are not permitted to use makeup, and they must only display their natural beauty.

Miss “Albinism”

This contest is an important one that supports and recognizes women with albinism. Albinism is a genetic disorder that leads to the absence of pigmentation in the skin, hair, and eyes, and it affects people of different races and ethnicities. Women with albinism are unique and beautiful, and this contest will boost their self-esteem and self-respect by highlighting their uniqueness and beauty.

“Miss Sweet Corn”

An unusual event, Miss Sweet Corn is held in many parts of the world, particularly in English-speaking countries. During this competition, participants must show their abilities in eating sweets and desserts, specifically sweet corn in plastic packets, known as “sweet corn.”
