 Major international contests for women include the yearly Miss World competition (founded by Eric Morley in 1951), Miss Universe (founded in 1952), Miss International (founded in 1960), and Miss Earth (founded in 2001 with environmental awareness as its concern).These are considered the Big Four pageants, the four largest and most famous international beauty contests for single or unmarried women.Dethronements and resignations are rare for the Big Four pageant winners, but when it does, it creates media attention.
