MISS ISRAEL
Until 1994, there were no semi-finalists. There was a queen, the winner, runners-up and city and regional queens. From the 1960s, there were 2, 3, 4 or 5 queens, each queen’s runners-up and the regional queens.
In Hebrew, the winner’s title is "Malkat Hayofi" - Israel’s Beauty Queen (IBQ).
The second queen, which began being crowned in 1960, is called "Na’arat Israel" – Israel’s Maiden of Beauty (IMB) - or, actually: Miss Israel.
In 1963, a third queen was crowned: "Malkat Hachen" - Israel’s Queen of Grace (IQG).
In 1971, there was another title: "Malkat Hayofi-Esreh" - Israel’s Teen Queen (ITQ) and in 1979, a fifth queen was added: "Nesichat Hayofi" - Israel’s Princess of Beauty (IPB). These two are not elected every year.
Many contestants changed their names before the contest into more Israeli names. The original names appear in parentheses. Some of the international representatives preferred to use their original names in the International contests.
From 1951 until 1963, the crowning of the city and regional queens was before the final crowning. That was why some of the winners had more than one title. These titleholders were not necessarily from the region or the city of their title.
In the first years of the pageant, contestants were allowed to participate more than once. Also, married women were allowed to compete, but if they won they could not represent Israel in International pageants. The very first Miss Israel was married with a baby.
