Finals of Miss Supranational 2017

Miss Supranational is managed by the World Beauty Association S.A., which was founded in 2009 in Panama. The first World Beauty Association president was Tryny Marcela Yandar Lobón, with Gerhard Parzutka von Lipinski from Poland as executive producer and president of the production company Nowa Scena.[4]

Parzutka von Lipinski has been referred to as the President of Miss Supranational since at least 2017.[5][6]

The Miss Supranational contests began in 2009 and were held in Poland except 2013 which was in Minsk, Belarus,[7] and 2016, which was co-hosted with Poprad, Slovakia.[8] Mister Supranational also began in 2016, in Krynica-Zdrój, Poland.[9]

The World Beauty Association, based in Hong Kong, organized a rival Miss Supranational 2014 pageant in India which could not be held in person due to responses to the West African Ebola virus epidemic. It crowned one candidate, Jennifer Poleo of Venezuela, remotely, and without runners-up, and did not hold any subsequent contests.[10]

The Miss and Mister Supranational 2020 contests were postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Anntonia Porsild from Thailand and Nate Crnkovich from the United States to retain their respective titles until then.[6] 2020 was the first year that the Miss and Mister Supranational contests were not held since their inception.[11]

Crowns of Miss Supranational

  • The Blue Blossom Crown (2009–2021; 2024) – This crown was designed by jeweler and crown maker George Wittels from Venezuela.[12] It is made of a fine silver base bordered by numerous white crystals, diamonds, and soft blue sapphires, at an approximate cost of US$300,000. Over the years, the crown has undergone several modifications but retained the significant elements of its original design.[13][14] The Blue Blossom crown was last worn by Harashta Haifa Zahra from Indonesia, who won in 2024.
  • The Supranational Crown (2022–2023) – The second Miss Supranational crown was designed by Mexican jeweler and crown maker Ricardo Patraca. It was unveiled during the 13th Miss Supranational competition. The crown was inspired by the pageant's slogan: Inspirational – Aspirational. It represents the union and the friendship that never ends the bonds. The lines go up from the bottom of the crown towards the upper part, symbolizing the inspirational aspect of Miss Supranational. The side of the crown has a motif representing the ribbons that are usually used to symbolize different social causes. The blue stones represent the peace and the family that usually characterizes the pageant.[15] The Supranational Crown was last worn by Andrea Aguilera from Ecuador, who won in 2023.
