The beauty contest "Miss Belarus" has been held since 1998, once every two years. The winner of the Miss Belarus beauty pageant gets the right to participate in such an international beauty pageant as Miss Europe. If you win this competition, you can take part in a beauty contest that is a step higher, namely "Miss World". However, participating in the Miss Europe beauty contest since 1995, the Belarusian women did not manage to take the coveted first place. The best result was achieved in 1996, when the 17-year-old Belarusian Elena Shcherbak took the offensive, but no less long-awaited, second place. In the first place was the representative of Great Britain.
Since 1998, the winners of the Miss Belarus contest have been two beautiful girls from the city of Grodno (Svetlana Kruk and Lyudmila Yakimovich, who became Miss Belarus 2010). Also, two winners were from the city of Mogilev (Anna Stychinskaya, Ekaterina Litvinova). Girls from such cities as Brest (Olga Nevdakh), Polotsk (Olga Antropova) and Vitebsk (Olga Khizhinkova) also won the victory.

The standard requirement for beauty contests is that girls must not be married or have children. Participants must also be citizens of the Republic of Belarus.
