A beauty pageant is a competition where people are judged on physical appearance. They are held for both children and adults, and a winner is crowned a beauty queen. In recent years, they have become a symbol of national identity and pride for many people worldwide.
The origins of beauty pageants can be traced back to ancient Greece and European festivals dating to the medieval era. In America, the Miss America pageant was first held in 1921, and it continues to this day as a way for people to express their identity and pride.
Today, the criteria for a beauty pageant include personality, intelligence, talent, character and charitable involvement. The contestants answer questions onstage and have private interviews with judges. The results are compared with other participants, and winners are ranked based on their performance.
