**Miss Earth Democratic Republic of the Congo** *(Miss Earth DR Congo)* is the official title given to [Democratic Republic of the Congo](/source/Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo)'s delegate to the Miss Earth pageant. This pageant, unlike [Miss World](/source/Miss_World) or [Miss Universe](/source/Miss_Universe) focuses mainly on promoting environmental causes and winners are chosen equally on their physical attributes as well as their understanding and knowledge of the issues affecting the Earth.

Along with [Miss Universe](/source/Miss_Universe) and [Miss World](/source/Miss_World) contests, Miss Earth is one of the three largest beauty pageants in the world in terms of the number of national-level competitions to participate in the world finals.[1][2][3] The reigning titleholders dedicate their year to promote environmental projects and to address issues concerning the environment.[4]

## History

The first year [Brazzaville Congo](/source/Republic_of_Congo) sent a representative to Miss Earth was in 2008. She goes on to compete at the pageant in the Philippines without a separate national competition and the Miss Earth franchise was obtained then by *Beauties of Africa Inc.*, owned by Mr. Andy A. Abulime.[5]

In 2015, a delegate has attended the annual Miss Earth pageant in the Philippines. This in celebration of the return of *Miss Earth Congo* to [Miss Earth](/source/Miss_Earth), this time under the supervision of its Director Ms. Mukon Ngoyi and serving as the spokesperson is Mr. Robert Scott who handles media press for the organization

[Josephine Bomele](/source/Miss_Earth_2015), a young woman with a very special dedication and perseverance to get through such a demanding achievement was crowned as the new **Miss Earth Congo 2015** and she will now have the honor to represent DR Congo in the upcoming [Miss Earth 2015](/source/Miss_Earth_2015) pageant.
