THE MOST BEAUTIFUL:
Angela Visser, Holland

#21-#50

* Important note: it is very important to us to make the judging process very clear to you. You can now see the scores judges gave to all titleholders.

Fifty years have passed since the first Miss Universe was crowned. Winners came from superpower nations to ismall island nations. They are diverse, have different religions, speak different languages. The one thing they have in common is that they were beautiful enough to be called the 'most beautiful girl in the universe' for a year.

Celebrating 50 years of Miss Universe, Global Beauties decided to pay tribute to them all by picking the most beautiful among the most beautiful women on the planet. Two years ago we promoted a similar competition, the best Miss Universe ever. This time, however, judges' scores were given based solely on titleholders looks.

Aware that people from different regions of the world have different concepts of beauty, judges have been diveded into 3 groups: the Americas (representing 1/3 of titleholders final score), Europe/Africa (1/3) and Asia/Oceania (1/3).

This is how their final scores were calculated: first each judge gave each contestant a score ranging from 1.00 to 10.00. These scores were averaged among each of the 3 groups of judges. Then titleholders were ranked from #1 to #49 in each region (Americas, Europe/Africa) and Asia/Oceania). The woman ranking as # 1 received 49 points, #2 received 48 points, and so on, up to # 49, who received 1 point. Points were added up and the total determined our final ranking. The maximum of points a titleholder can achieve is 147 points (49+49+49) and the minimun is 3 points (1+1+1). Like this:
