The prestigious Miss Commonwealth …It’s more than a beauty pageant…

It is a unique and innovative cultural and charity brand of beauty pageant, with a focus on community Quality of Life improvement, and the empowerment of women. Hence its following very special and inimitable characteristics:-

A community empowerment institution and platform

Miss Commonwealth is globally renown for its reputation for empowering eligible Commonwealth ladies of all age groups, as Cultural and Charity Queens and Ambassadors, to promote their economic, social and cultural self-improvement, and to participate, authoritatively, in the promotion of community and environmental sustainability, in the interest of increased community Quality of Life improvement. This empowerment platform provides an outlet for productive and positive expression, and the release of the community benefits, of inner beauty.

Honourable Aims and Objectives

The pageant’s principal aims and objectives are to promote increased Quality of Life improvement, through the promotions of cultural awareness and exchange, family values, good parenthood, children’s welfare, health, education, poverty eradication, sport, international volunteering, community charitableness, tourism, environmental protection, and fundraising for registered charitable organisations and humanitarian and environmental projects, etc.

Distinguished Culture and Charity Queens and Ambassadors

Miss Commonwealth’s queens are specially styled and distinguished as Culture and Charity Queens and Ambassadors to reflect their purpose as role models and human vehicles for the effective promotion of the honourable community Quality of Life improvement aims and objectives of the pageant.

The Seven Principal Beauty Queen Title Crowns of The Commonwealth

Miss Commonwealth crowns seven principal international queens at each of its annual or biannual international beauty queen contests for two main reasons: The Triple Crown (Teen, Miss and Mrs.) promotes family life and participation from all age groups. The Cultural Sector Crown (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Caribbean and Euro-Atlantic) promotes cultural awareness, exchange, integration and excellence, etc.

The Wide Range Of Title Crown Extensions

Miss Commonwealth introduced numerous beauty queen title crowns reflecting its promoted aims and objectives, in order to i) promote wider community participation of eligible and capable Commonwealth ladies and ii) thus, enhance and broaden the reach of its community benefits, internationally. The aptly identified extensions include Arts, Culture, Charity, Education, Sport, Health, Tourism, Environment, etc. Hence, for example, the titles of Miss Commonwealth England Culture, Miss Commonwealth Wales Charity, Miss Commonwealth India Sport, etc. All national titles, with or without extension, carry equal weight.

Title Conferment Ceremony

Titles are formally conferred upon the holders at the CICCETSS (Commonwealth International Cultural and Charity Evening TV-Special Showcase). Non-attendance at the ceremony invalidates pre-event awarded titles.

National Culture and Charity Queens

Each Commonwealth nation is represented at the CICCETSS by their respective three national Triple Crown culture and charity queens (Teen, Miss and Mrs.) In addition, each nation can be further represented by delegates bearing national Triple Crown titles suffixed with any of the above title extensions, as appropriate. All delegates have equal status as contestants, in their respective pageants (Teen, Miss and Mrs.), for the international Triple Crown titles of Miss Teen Commonwealth International, Miss Commonwealth International, and Mrs. Commonwealth International.

Titles for Life

Title holders never fade into oblivion after their year of reign. The titles remain perpetually recognised and are as important any day as at conferment. Holders can continue to use their tiles, authoritatively, to promote good causes, through life.

Special Commendation Award Titles

For the time-being, these are Miss Commonwealth Charity International awarded for commendable voluntary charitable endeavour, and Miss Commonwealth Eternal awarded at retirement for exceptional and sustained performance as a charity queen.
