Folk Arts Theater, Manila, Philippines
44 contestants
The contest was held for the first time in 11 years outside Japan. Before the contest in Manila began, 100 Filipino students picketed the theatre for 15 minutes, denouncing the contest as an "USA imperialist tool" to sell beauty products. They were dispered by police. The winner, 16-year-old high-school student Simone Renee Overman, was born in Pueblo, Colorado, but had moved to Hawaii.
