**Miss Latvia** ([Latvian](/source/Latvian_language): *Mis Latvija*, *Miss and Mr. Latvia, LLC*) is a national [beauty pageant](/source/Beauty_pageant) in [Latvia](/source/Latvia).

## History

The pageant is organized by Agency Miss and Mr Latvia ([Latvian](/source/Latvian_language): *aģentūra "Miss un Mr Latvia"*) which is led by [Swiss](/source/Switzerland)-Latvian model and [World Miss University](/source/World_Miss_University) 2004 Jūlija Djadenko-Müggler and Miss Latvia 2005 Kristīne Djadenko. Until 2015 the agency *Mis Latvija* was the only official organization entitled to organize the national beauty contests Miss and Mister Latvia, which it did since 1990.[1]

The owner and founder *Mis Latvija* was [Inta Fogele](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Inta_Fogele&action=edit&redlink=1) (1957–2016), who had organized the Latvian beauty pageants since 1988, when the inaugural Miss [Riga](/source/Riga) competition took place.[2][3] In 2015, she agreed to transfer the right to the Miss Latvia brand over to *Miss and Mr Latvia LLC.* The government of Latvia partially supported the agency at some point by financing the licenses to Miss and Mister World contests as a way of promoting the image of the country in the world.[4]
