Miss Burma was the national beauty pageant in Burma (now Myanmar) from 1947 to 1962.[1] The winner of Miss Burma also represented her country at the Miss Universe.
In 1962, the pageant was banned by the Union Revolutionary Council government because it was considered against Burmese culture.
The term Miss Burma was introduced in Myanmar through the MISS ORGANIZATION and held the Miss Burma 1959 Local Beauty Pageant Competition. At the end of the event, Than Than Aye was competed in Miss Burma 1959. She was the
Burma's first contestant in the Miss Universe pageant.[2]
