Miss České republiky ('Miss Czech Republic') is a national beauty pageant in the Czech Republic where the winner represents the country at Miss World. It is also the oldest, largest and most prestigious pageant in the Czech Republic. This pageant was closed in 2009, but was then reopened in 2018.

History

Before Miss Czech Republic existed, there was a similar pageant that took place between 1966 and 1970, known as Girl of the Year. Alžběta Štrkulová, a popular TV presenter in the Czech Republic, won in 1967. At the time, she was the most successful titleholder in the Eastern bloc; however, this competition was banned by the communist regime.

Miss Czech Republic sends its winner to Miss Universe and runners up to Miss World. It would also choose representatives to international competitions like Miss International, Miss Intercontinental, Miss Model of the year, Queen of the World and Miss Maja International.

Miss Czech Republic began in 1989 under the name Miss Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. In 1990, the competition was renamed Miss Czechoslovak Federative Republic. In 1993 when Czechoslovakia split, the competition was renamed Miss Czech and Slovak Republic. Since 1994, it became Miss České republiky, organized by director Miloš Zapletal between 1989 and 2008. In 2009, Miss World 2006, Taťána Kuchařová, became the new director.

In 2005, former titleholder Michaela Maláčová founded rival competition Česká Miss, which started sending representatives to Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss Earth. In 2010, the two organizations signed an agreement of partnership, where the two rival organizations would have Maláčová as president.^[1]

As of 2018, the Miss České Republiky is owned by Tatyana Makarenko. The competition was founded under the name Miss Face Czech Republic and in 3 January 2018, it was renamed Miss Czech Republic. Since its foundation, a charitable aspect that has been embedded in the slogan "Beautiful Faces Helps" is an indispensable part of the whole competition.
