Miss Uzbekistan was supposedly a national beauty pageant in Uzbekistan whose winner would participate in the Miss World international pageant. The only claimed winner was widely denounced as fraudulent.

History[]

In 2013, Rakhima Ganieva was the first Miss World contestant to represent Uzbekistan. Her presence there was controversial.[1] She began taking part in Miss World 2013 for Uzbekistan. She claimed that the Miss Uzbekistan 2013 pageant was held on 20 July 2013 in Tashkent. Officials at the Uzbek Culture and Sports Ministry and the National Committee on Women were unaware that the country had held a contest.[2]
