National beauty pageant competition in Iceland

For the Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir novel, see [Miss Iceland (novel)](/source/Miss_Iceland_(novel)).

Ungfrú Ísland Organization Formation 1950; 76 years ago (1950) Type Beauty pageant Headquarters Reykjavík Location Iceland Members Miss Universe Miss International Miss Earth Miss Supranational Miss Cosmo Official language Icelandic President Jorge Esteban Manuela Ósk Harðardóttir Website www.missuniverseiceland.com

The **Miss Iceland** or **Miss Universe Iceland** ([Icelandic](/source/Icelandic_language): *Ungfrú Ísland*) is a national [beauty pageant](/source/Beauty_pageant) in [Iceland](/source/Iceland). Beginning in 2023, the winner represents Iceland at [Miss Universe](/source/Miss_Universe) pageant.

## History

The competition has been carried out since 1950; in the first year, it was called **Miss Reykjavík** (Ungfrú Reykjavík). Since 1955, the contest has taken place under the current name Miss Iceland.[1][2] In the past, there were six regional preliminary contests in each of the five rural regions and in the capital [Reykjavík](/source/Reykjav%C3%ADk). 20 to 24 candidates, three to four from each region, take part in the finals.

Iceland is one of the most successful countries at the Miss World pageant with three victories, a record for a nation with a population of less than half million people.

In 2023, Jorge Esteban and Manuela Ósk Harðardóttir took the brand of Ungfrú Ísland in Iceland after the original organizers abandoned the brand back in 2018 in order to adopt a new format for Miss World in [Miss World Iceland](/source/Miss_World_Iceland).

### 2013 applicants

Rafn Rafnsson, the new chief executive of the Miss Iceland contest, "in hopes of diversifying the field of contestants beyond the statuesque blonde with striking blue eyes that has become the Icelandic stereotype", said "There is no Miss Iceland stereotype..."[3] One week later, in response to Rafnsson's statement, 1,300 people applied to become Miss Iceland,[4] including several nontraditional candidates, such as:

- Sigríður Guðmarsdóttir, 48, a female governmental minister in Reykjavík[4]

- Reynir Sigurðbjörnsson, 47, a male electrician[4]

- Ása Richardsdóttir, a 49-year-old female producer in the fine arts industry[4]

- Matthildur Helgadóttir-Jónudóttir, a female event manager also in her 40s[4]

- Brynhildur Heiðardóttir Ómarsdóttir, a female literary critic[4]

- [Sigríður Ingibjörg Ingadóttir](/source/Sigr%C3%AD%C3%B0ur_Ingibj%C3%B6rg_Ingad%C3%B3ttir), a female Member of Parliament for the [Social Democratic Alliance](/source/Social_Democratic_Alliance)[3]

- Guðrún Jónsdóttir, a spokesperson for [Stígamót](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=St%C3%ADgam%C3%B3t&action=edit&redlink=1) (organization that fights sexual abuse against women)[3]

- Hildur Lillendahl, a feminist in Iceland[3]

- Björk Vilhelmsdóttir, a city councilor of Reykjavík and feminist[5]

- Þórdís Elva Þorvaldsdóttir, a writer and actress[5]

In response to the increase of nontraditional applicants, Rafnsson said, "We have to follow the rules set by the international contest." This "means rejecting any applicants younger than 18 or older than 24. In addition to the age limits, contestants must be unmarried, childless and, of course, female." Íris Telma Jonsdóttir, Iceland's 2012 [Miss World](/source/Miss_World) contestant, "has the unfortunate job of sifting through applications for the coming Miss Iceland contest and the publicity stirred by feminists has even sparked an abnormally high influx of legitimate hopefuls. That means she has a lot more reading to do before selecting the field of 25 women who will actually compete for a chance to move on to Miss World."[4]

## Miss Universe Iceland

In 2016, Jorge Esteban (President of PageantSmart Interview Consulting) and Manuela Osk Hardardottir (former Miss Iceland 2002) were awarded the franchise for Miss Universe Iceland by the Miss Universe Organization. The 2020 Miss Universe Iceland competition was held on Friday, October 23, 2020, at Gamla Bio in downtown Reykjavík. The winner was 21 year old Elísabet Hulda Snorradóttir, a second year student at the [University of Iceland](/source/University_of_Iceland), majoring in Chinese Studies. She represented Iceland at the Miss Universe 2020 competition. She succeeds Birta Abiba Þórhallsdóttir, Miss Universe Iceland 2019, who placed in the Top 10 at Miss Universe 2019, the highest placement for Iceland since 1962. The Miss Universe Iceland 2021 competition will be held in Reykjavík on September 29, 2021. The winner will go on to compete at the 70th Miss Universe competition in Eilat, Israel scheduled for December 2021.[6][7] Previously the Miss Iceland (Ungfru Island) pageant would select the representative to Miss Universe.[1]

Began 2023 the Miss Universe Iceland became the main title of Ungfrú Ísland titleholder after the organizers took over the defunct brand.
