History
[edit]A Slovak Republic representative was selected for Miss Slovensko for the debut after Silvia Lakatošová represented the country at the Miss Universe pageant. The Miss Slovensko contest was formed in 1993 after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. From 1993 to 1995, the winner went to Miss Universe and the runners-up went to Miss World and Miss International.
The Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky is organized and produced by Silvia Lakatošová. Lakatošová was the last Miss Czechoslovakia and first Slovak representative at Miss Universe, where she was fifth. Lakatošová acquired the Miss Universe franchise in 1999 and began the Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky pageant.[citation needed]
The Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky titleholders represented their country at Miss Universe, Miss Earth and Miss Intercontinental pageant until 2016. Since 2017 the organization is only taking the Miss Universe franchise.
In 2019 there was new format which called "Miss Česko-Slovensko" competition. this format collaborated to Czech Miss who also took the main winner to Miss Universe.
In 2023 the main owner decided to stop joining Miss Universe Organization. Later than that Miss Management A.S. took over the license of Miss Universe for the Slovak Republic. The winner is expected to compete in the Miss Universe competition. Later that year Lakatošová announced the end of Miss Universe Slovakia and her departure.[1] Since end of Miss Universe Slovakia, Miss Slovakia will send contestants to the Miss Universe finals, starting in 2023. After one year, Miss Slovakia did not organize another edition, and in 2024 Slovakia was represented at Miss Universe by the runner-up from 2023. Miss Universe Slovakia once again joined forces with the former Czech competition, Czech Miss, and a joint project was created: Miss Universe Czechia & Slovakia. The first edition will take place in 2025, starting with Czechia at June and Slovakia later in August.[2]
