MISS WORLD 2008 CELEBRATES ITS 58TH ANNIVERSARY
THE CELEBRATIONS END IN SOUTH AFRICA WITH THE ANNNOUNCEMENT OF THE PAGEANT
The Miss World title celebrated its 58th anniversary for the popularity and the fame that it had received in these years at Sandston Conventional Centre in Johannesburg in South Africa.
The Miss World has by far become the best and the most popular title contest for female beauty pageants giving us with the best of the actresses in the Bollywood as well as the Hollywood with the recent winner of the Miss World title, Ksenia Sukhinova who won the title against 108 other strong contenders of the position. The Miss World competition was held on the 13th of December, 2008 with various finalists, semi finalists and the runner ups given to Parvathy Omanakuttan from India and Gabrielle Walcott from Trinidad and Tobago. Along with the beauty pageant of the Miss World there were some more competitions held before this to choose the finalists and the semi finalists by the Miss World Beach Beauty, Miss World Top Model, Miss World Sports, Miss World Talent and the award for the Best World Dress Designer.
There was a special award for each one so that no one went away with dissatisfaction in the heart and a grudge against the judges. With Judges, it reminds about the judges who were the ever so charming Julia Morley who is the Chairman as well as the CEO of the Miss World Ltd along with the so graceful Wilnelia Merced who had been the Miss World in the year 1975. To accompany them both, there were also Aminurta Kang who is a director of Theatre stage in China and North America, Krish Naidoo who is the brand ambassador for Miss World beauty pageant, Pearl Luthuli who is a part of the Group executive public commercial services SABC, Lindiwe Mahlangu who is the Chief executive of the Johannesburg Tourism Company and Moloi-Motsepe who is the Chairperson of African Fashion International with Graham Cooke who is the President of World Travel.

The Miss World, 2008 came up with many countries that had left participating in this contest like the country of Seychelles that was seen in the year 1999, Antigua & Barbuda was seen in the year 2004 along with Egypt and Honduras also in the same year. These are just the small list of them. The whole thing is too huge but any ways it is a matter of proud that these countries came back to participate in the Miss World and made it an unforgettable memory that had been revived with their presence.
Along with these countries who did the dare to get back and compete there were also various countries who did not participate this year for whom the wait had been done for a long time with the expectation that they would get back but sadly no news was received. These Countries were: Estonia, FYRO, Romania, Slovenia and Macedonia decided to give up as they did not have the investment amount whereas Panama’s participant did not get the visa to South Africa, Suriname was not allowed in the participation for undisclosed reasons and Nepal could not take part due to certain problems prevailing in the country. Each had their own set of reasons for their lack of appearance and withdrawal.
