==History==

===Queen of the Beach=== The first contest looking for the most beautiful girl in [[Belgium]] was in 1928. It was journalist Jean-Jacques Fortis who organised the contest "La Reine de la Plage" - "The Queen of the Beach" as a promotion for the journal Piccolo, now [[Le Soir]]. It was Anne Koyaert who won the contest in [[Blankenberge]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2018/01/12/miss-belgie--//|title=Miss België door de jaren heen in 4 minuten|website=VRT NWS|date=January 13, 2018|language=NL}}</ref>

===Miss Belgium=== Following the success, Fortis was allowed to organise a bigger election. In 1929, Jenny Vanparys was the first girl officially crowned ''Miss Belgium''. She participated in Miss Europe. The next year, [[:fr:Netta Duchâteau|Netta Duchâteau]] was the winner. Duchâteau participated and won the [[International Pageant of Pulchritude]] in 1931, earning her the title "Miss Universe 1931". Duchâteau became an instant celebrity and the ''Miss Belgium'' contest got a lot of attention.

In 1968, Cécile Muller took interest in the contest. In 1969 she organised for the first time ''Miss Belgium''. Muller, who thought herself to be a feminist, took the contest very serious. She demanded the participants of the contest to be bilingual - being able to talk Dutch and French, the two main languages of Belgium. Muller gave the participants training how to handle interviews. She also followed and guided the winner of the Miss Belgium-title very strictly. Thanks to the guidance of Muller, the contest became bigger every year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hln.be/celebrities/miss-belgie-boegbeeld-cecile-muller-81-overleden~a0577bc9/|title=Miss België-boegbeeld Cécile Müller (81) overleden|website=HLN|date=July 10, 2012|language=NL}}</ref> Muller saw the contest as an act of feminism and tried not to find the most beautiful face of Belgium but a modern young woman who could represent Belgium in every way.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.demorgen.be/nieuws/voor-de-kolonel-was-miss-belgie-verkiezen-een-daad-van-feminisme~b5dbdbbd/|title=Voor 'de kolonel' was Miss België verkiezen een daad van feminisme|website=De Morgen|date=July 11, 2012|language=NL}}</ref> She succeeded on launching the contest at television. In 1993 the contest was broadcast on [[VTM (TV channel)|VTM]] for the [[Flanders]] region and at [[RTL Group|RTL]] for the [[Wallonia|Walloon]] region. A million viewers saw the elections of Miss Belgium that decennia. Many of those winners - including [[Goedele Liekens]], Lynn Wesenbeek, [[Sandrine Corman]], [[Dina Tersago]] and [[Julie Taton]] - had successful careers in television. For the election of 1994 a new golden crown was made by a crown maker of Paris.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/au1lack6|title=Nieuw kroontje voor Miss België|website=Het Nieuwsblad|date=December 12, 2007|language=NL}}</ref>

In 2005, business woman Darline Devos became the new organiser of the election. She organized the election further. She succeeded in changing the preliminary provincial elections and applying the same rules in those contests. Every winner of those provincial contest was awarded one of the same eleven [[Swarovski]]-crowns.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/mq19uh30|title=Al 600 meisjes kandidaat voor Miss België|website=Het Nieuwsblad|date=March 22, 2007|language=NL}}</ref> A new crown for ''Miss Belgium'' was made, consisting of 500 [[Swarovski]]-crystals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/au1lack6|title=Nieuw kroontje voor Miss België|website=Het Nieuwsblad|date=December 12, 2007|language=NL}}</ref> Devos also founded the Miss Belgium house, a house in the center of the country. It serves as the work place for the organisation of ''Miss Belgium'' and a place to stay for the reigning ''Miss Belgium''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.standaard.be/cnt/pi1g906k|title=Miss België krijgt eigen huis in Brussel|website=De Standaard|date=August 22, 2007|language=NL}}</ref> She made a new deal for the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium with broadcaster [[VIER|VT4]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf24012007_067|title=VT4 rijft uitzendrechten Miss België binnen|website=De Standaard|date=January 24, 2007|language=NL}}</ref> Although the girls of the next years were more successful at the [[Miss Universe]] and [[Miss World]] contests, the Belgian audience lost its interest in the election. Caused by declining viewership of the election, the contest was broadcast in the Dutch-speaking region by [[VIJF|Vijftv]], the small affiliate channel of VT4, in 2010-2011 and on digital broadcasters Life! in 2012, Studio 100 TV in 2013–2014, Ment TV in 2015, [[Fox (international)|Fox Flanders]] in 2016-2018 and Eclips TV in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/n43eqaq1|title=Einde dreigt voor Miss België|website=Het Nieuwsblad|date=September 1, 2011|language=NL}}</ref> In the French-speaking region broadcaster RTL stopped broadcasting the election in 2012. It was succeeded by digital broadcaster STAR TV in 2012 and [[AB3]] in 2013–2018. Since 2019 the contest no longer broadcast in [[Wallonia]]. Additionally, the election also meets criticism in Wallonia because most winners are from [[Flanders]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lalibre.be/lifestyle/people/31-miss-belgique-francophones-en-90-ans-seulement-5c38ff60d8ad5878f0f9c5a9|title=31 Miss Belgique francophones en 90 ans seulement|website=La Libre|date=November 1, 2019|language=FR}}</ref>

Because of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the election of ''Miss Belgium'' 2021 was postponed from January 2020 to March 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hln.be/showbizz/verkiezing-miss-belgie-definitief-uitgesteld~a9b80ddf/|title=Verkiezing Miss België definitief uitgesteld |website=HLN|date=August 31, 2020|language=NL}}</ref> A new crown made of white stones and some pink stones as finisher debuted at the election of ''Miss Belgium 2021''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hln.be/showbizz/nieuwe-blingbling-voor-het-eerst-in-jaren-een-nieuw-kroontje~a3520bb8/|title=Nieuwe blingbling: voor het eerst in jaren een nieuw kroontje|website=HLN|date=March 31, 2021|language=FR}}</ref>

The Reigning Miss Belgium, Chayenne Van Aarle, had a major car accident during her last week of her reign. Since she was still recovering she wasn't able to be present at the election of her successor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2023/02/07/miss-belgie-chayenne-van-aarle-raakt-gewond-bij-zwaar-ongeval-op/|title=Miss België Chayenne Van Aarle raakt gewond bij zwaar ongeval op E17, ze is buiten levensgevaar|website=VRT News|date=February 7, 2023|language=FR}}</ref> The ''Miss Belgium 2023 pageant'' show was postponed due to suspicions of a terrorist attack.

=== Controversy === The ''Miss Belgium'' was met with controversy at different occasions. ''Miss Belgium'' 1952, Anne-Marie Pauwels refused to part from her boyfriend during the contest of [[Miss World 1952]]. She was disqualified and [[Belgium]] wasn't allowed to participate at [[Miss World 1953]].

In 1971, the [[Dolle Mina|Dolle Mina's]] jumped on stage during the final of the election, yelling “We are not cattle!”.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thebulletin.be/3-best-protests-belgian-history|title=3 best protests in Belgian history|website=The Bulletin|date=December 18, 2014|language=EN}}</ref>

''Miss Belgium'' 2002, [[Ann Van Elsen]], was one of the candidates who refused to participate in the ''[[Miss World#The 2002 Nigeria contest|Miss World]]'' competition held in [[Nigeria]] in to protest the conviction of [[Amina Lawal]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dexa15112002_002|title=Misstoestanden: Ann Van Elsen (22) gaat niet naar Nigeria|website=De Standaard|date=November 15, 2002|language=NL}}</ref> This was against the wishes of the ''Miss Belgium'' organisation. Van Elsen was replaced by her first runner-up Sylvie Doclot.

''Miss Belgium'' 2006, Virginie Claes, was accused of buying her title. No proof of this was found.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf06012006_002|title=Miss België kocht stemmen voor titel |website=Het Nieuwsblad|date=January 6, 2006|language=NL}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/gmimg6e2|title=Televoting kost Missen massa's geld|website=Het Nieuwsblad|date=January 7, 2006|language=NL}}</ref>

[[File:AZ1CLAJOT.jpg|right|thumb|150px|[[Alizée Poulicek]], Miss Belgium 2008]]

The election of Alizee Poulicek, a native speaker of French and Czech, has even been linked to the [[2007–08 Belgian government formation]]. The reason is that, during the traditional language test, she failed to speak or understand [[Dutch language|Dutch]]. The audience even booed her for this.<ref>[http://www.vrtnieuws.net/cm/vrtnieuws.net/cultuurmedia/media/071215MissBelgie] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217010704/http://www.vrtnieuws.net/cm/vrtnieuws.net/cultuurmedia/media/071215MissBelgie |date=December 17, 2007 }}</ref> The behaviour of the audience was noted across Europe,<ref name="aftonbladet1">[http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article1482338.ab I språkligt blåsväder | Nyheter | Aftonbladet]</ref><ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7148307.stm | work=BBC News | title=Miss Belgium fails her first test | date=2007-12-17 | access-date=2010-05-12}}</ref> and the Flemish newspaper [[Het Laatste Nieuws]] sarcastically put the headline "Miss Belgium doesn't speak Dutch. Our country is in a deep crisis".

''Miss Belgium'' 2017, Romanie Schotte, was accused of racism because of a post at [[Instagram]]. An investigation was started by Unia (the Center of Equal Opportunities) on 17 January but it was already closed on 19 January.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kw.be/nieuws/samenleving/unia-neemt-geen-verdere-stappen-tegen-miss-belgie/article-normal-249541.htm|title=Unia neemt geen verdere stappen tegen Miss België|website=Knack|date=February 1, 2017|language=NL}}</ref> In 2018 however, ''Miss Belgium'' 2018 Angeline Flor Pua, was met with much racism after winning. The Secretary of State of Equal Opportunities [[Zuhal Demir]] disapproved the racist comments and applauded the new ''Miss Belgium''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.demorgen.be/nieuws/nieuwe-miss-belgie-mikpunt-van-racistische-reacties~b7c4dd54/|title=Nieuwe Miss België mikpunt van racistische reacties |website=De Morgen|date=January 14, 2018|language=NL}}</ref> The reaction of Flor Pua was well received and even broadcast on the [[BBC]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20180118_03306851|title=BBC zoekt Miss België Angeline Flor Pua op: "Ik ben gechoqueerd"|website=Het Nieuwsblad|date=January 18, 2018|language=NL}}</ref>
