History
The pageant was created by Charlie See in 1989. The competition focuses not only on beauty, but on the contestants dedication to courage and on the contestants passion to make a difference. The purpose of the competition is to give women of the world an opportunity to come together and build relationships with other women who want to make an impact in their communities.[3] The competition also tries to promote ecotourism and environmental awareness.[4] The competition was first held in Bangkok, Thailand.[1] The pageant began with controversy as Kristen Roberts of New Zealand was the first winner and was dethroned soon after for behavior reasons and for failing to complete post-contest obligations.[1] A second edition of Miss All Nations was held in 1990 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[5]
The pageant was not held again until 2010, when it was revived by Alex Liu.[5] Diāna Kubasova of Latvia was the winner and the contest was held in Nanjing, China.[6][7][8] The event has since taken place in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019.[1]
