UNOFFICIAL MISS EUROPE
The unofficial Miss Europe pageants, run by the Comite Officiel International Miss Europe. has not been fully documented. It was established in 1950 by Jean Raibaut, with headquarters in Paris, France. He unsuccessfully tried to make his pageant more prestigious than the official Miss Europe contests (run by Mondial Events Organization, also headquartered in Paris, France).
Mondial Events Organisation sued Comite Officiel et International Miss Europe in 2000 to stop them from using the title Miss Europe. In 2015, the businessman Yassin K. Fawaz started a new Miss Europe (World) pageant held in Beirut, Lebanon. Besides that, a new Miss Europe organization was stablished in UK in 2016. They are all unofficial Miss Europe.
