On occasion, when the winner does not qualify (due to age) for either contest, a runner-up is sent. In 1986, Alice Matta Fefegula was the first [[Miss World]] contestant to represent Sierra Leone. In 1990, Sia Matturi became the first University student to win the title, and though she did not compete that year in [[Miss World]], she became the first titleholder to win an international title by winning Miss Africa 1990 in Banjul, The Gambia.''
