The clean image, the beautiful high value towards the environment as well as the prestige of the contest were engulfed in an instant. From here, Global Beauties removed Miss Earth from the Grand Slam system.

In recent days, the beauty community has paid more attention to and discussed about today's major international beauty arenas. Miss Universe has just had a surprising change of owners. Miss Grand International is wobbly with a series of noises. Preparing to return after 2 years of taking place online, Miss Earth 2022 (Miss Earth) is expected to revive and regain its former prestige.

Missosology considers Miss Earth worthy to be in the top 4 of the biggest competitions on the planet, along with Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International. In addition, Miss Earth was soon classified by the prestigious Global Beauties website in the Grand Slam system - the group of the most prestigious beauty contests in the world.

Remember in 2012, the public was shocked when Miss Earth was revealed to buy the prize. Reporter Komsomolskaya Pravda of Russia pretended to be a client to negotiate with Lorraine Schuck - President of Miss Earth, about "going through the back door". And the price she offered for the crown was $4 million.

The clean image, the beautiful high value towards the environment as well as the prestige of the contest were engulfed in an instant. From here, Global Beauties removed Miss Earth from the Grand Slam system.

After more than 20 years of organization, Miss Earth is still plagued with bias when there are 4 representatives of the host Philippines crowned. Worth mentioning, the w.inning girls are not appreciated for their beauty and unconvincing behavior. The audience always questioned the settlement of this controversial result.

Karen Ibasco - the representative of the Philippines who was crowned Miss Earth 2017 was once "stoned" the most at the coronation minute. Missosology noted that the majority of the audience criticized the organizers for favoring her too openly.

In 2018, Canadian beauty Jaime VandenBerg also accused the sponsor to "get into bed" and "begged" the organizers but was not helped. According to GMA News, after VandenBerg's share, two more British and Guam contestants also spoke up, confirming what Jaime said was true.

For the above reasons, Miss Earth is said to no longer have the same attractiveness and position as before. However, the contest is still held annually and still receives the attention of the world beauty fan community. Many countries still organize Miss Earth at the national level, attracting many beautiful people to participate and the attention of the audience.

Some argue that Miss Earth has a different meaning right from the name of the contest: "Earth". The arena also excels in the criteria of environmental protection, which not all beauty contests have and can maintain.

It is known that Missosology shares the crown that is awarded alternately through the years. The Miss Earth crown is worth more modestly than the Miss crown of other beauty arenas, only about 150,000 USD. While, tiara of the runner-up is about 20,000 USD.

Made from solid 14K gold, the crown is also covered with white diamonds, crystal stones and several other stones such as blue topaz, sardonyx, calcite, ruby. In the middle is a flower symbolizing a happy Earth.

In the first 2 years, in addition to the crown and ribbon, Miss received the scepter. However, from the following year, the scepter ceased to appear.

According to Korea Times, Miss Korea (Miss Korea) has also lost credibility since the controversy of buying the prize in 2012. The contestant's mother who participated in the contest denounced the fraudulent behavior of the organizers. According to this person, the organizers actively contacted her and offered to buy and sell prizes.

If she "couped" 20 million won (more than 15,000 USD) for each judge, her son would definitely have the title. The figures given for each title are 100 million won (2nd runner-up), 300 million won (1st runner-up) and 500 million won (Miss).

On the part of the Miss Korea 2012 organizers, they eased public opinion with perfunctory explanations: "We take responsibility for not being able to prevent the unfortunate incident. Our company will do our best to clear things up and maintain transparency for the next one."

The Korea Times said that the answer did not go into the focus of the apology, which revealed a dark corner behind the beauty industry in a country that promotes beauty like Korea.

The fact that the title noise is a problem that many beauty arenas have to face. The quality of the contestants, the scandal of love and the scandal of buying prizes have caused many competitions (national and international levels) to gradually lose their brands.

However, undeniably, many beauty contests still retain great prestige when they say no to buying prizes. Such contests are still realizing the dream of beauties, maintaining the spirit of charity, peace and cohesion, besides ensuring entertainment to attract the attention of beauty fans.

Elsewhere, Miss Earth 2023 will take place in Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa. Actor Truong Ngoc Anh - a representative of Vietnam's organizers said that they are planning in detail to successfully host an international beauty event.
