History

edit

The first Star Hellas at Miss Universe competition took place in 1952. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the pageant was broadcast every year by the Ellinikí Radiofonía Tileórasi. From 1990 to 2010, it was funded and broadcast on Greece's private network ANT1.[1]

The Miss Universe Greece expects to hold a pageant with the motto "confidently beautiful". The winner will be the entrant to Miss Universe each year. Greece did not compete in 1988, 2016 and 2017.
