History

During the early 1960s, the United States was represented by a titleholder called 'Miss National Press Photographer'.[2][3] From 1963 to 1967, the U.S. titleholder sent was called 'Miss American Beauty', and she was crowned few days before the Miss International finals.[4][5]

The Miss International Beauty Pageant moved to Japan in 1968. From 1968 to 1970, 'Miss Welcome to Long Beach', was invited to compete at Miss International in Japan.[6][7]

From 1971 to 1976, Alfred Patricelli, who was the executive director of the Miss World USA competition, was asked to select a U.S. titleholder to compete at Miss International from contestants at the Miss World USA contest.[8] He organized the Miss International USA pageant only 2 times, 1973 and 1975.[9][10]

From 1977 to 1983, California Beauty Pageant Inc. led by Leonard Stallcup, was the license holder for the U.S. representative to Miss International.[11] They organized Miss California International, and the winner every year represented the U.S. at Miss International as 'Miss American Beauty'.[12]

From 1984 to 1989, the Miss Universe organization was the license holder for the U.S. representative to Miss International, and sent runner-ups of Miss USA to Miss International. In 1987, the U.S. representative's sash was changed back to 'United States'.[13][14] It is unknown who was in charge of selecting the contestants from 1990 to 2006, but, mostly Californian titleholders were sent to Japan.

Harrison Productions, LLC has been the license holder for Miss International in the United States since 2007 and the winner of the Miss U.S. International pageant competes at the Miss International Beauty Pageant every years.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
