The beauty in Jamaica is not confined to our scintillating beaches and waterfalls, lush vegetation, captivating tropical climate, nor the majestic scenery and physical surroundings - it is our people too!

And I don't mean the inner beauty of the people alone.
The intellectual as well as physical beauty of our women are admired, and awarded, the world over!
I indicated to you the special beauties we are blessed with on my interesting facts on Jamaica page already.
Our Miss Jamaica winners have had much success at the International Miss World Contest as, in addition to Carol Joan Crawford' and Cindy’s victories in 1962 and 1976 respectively, Lisa Hanna also took home the crown in 1993. [How can I forget that occasion?], and more recently in 2019, Toni Ann Singh!
As a result, I can proudly say that Jamaica stands strong in 3rd place from the countries to win the Miss World title the most!
India and Venezuela are in joint first place (with 6 wins) followed by the UK in second (5 wins) and Jamaica in third (4 wins).
South Africa, the US, Iceland and Sweden are in joint fourth with three wins each.
Doesn't that trigger a thought in your mind though?... be honest now.
Oh yeah! Perhaps the a little about our history might be helpful.
These are are still amazing performances considering the number of entrants from across the world in addition to our resource limitations.
In between these victories too there have been several top 20, top 10 and top 5 finishers, as well as several winners of the Caribbean Queen of Beauty title.
Prior to Spartan's staging of the contest, Jamaica had produced its first Miss World when Carol Crawford won that title (missjamaicaworld.com)
Below is a list of our former Miss Jamaica World Pageant Winners since 1976.
Note that Jamaica's first entry at the international competition was in 1959 with Sheila Mechtilde Chong. See Chinese Jamaicans
Back To Top Of Beauty In Jamaica

The following are some of the winners, who represented Jamaica in that contest since 2004

But don't get carried away by the outer beauty. These ladies had to demonstrate brains and cultural awareness at the pageant.
