Names of contestants are Icelandic names, usually not a family names. That is patronymic (in rare cases matronymic or both such as with a hypen), then for females ending in "dóttir" meaning "daughter (of)". Sometimes family names are used or both systems, however Icelandic persons is properly referred to by the given names. For unusual letters see: Icelandic alphabet for transliteration and pronunciation.

Miss Iceland (Icelandic: Ungfrú Ísland) is the annual national beauty contest of Iceland. The winner competes in Miss World.

History

The competition has been carried out since 1950; in the first year it was called Miss Reykjavík (Ungfrú Reykjavík). Since 1955, the contest has taken place under the current name Miss Iceland.

In the past, contest winners gained the right to represent Iceland in Miss Universe, Miss World or Miss International. As of 2009, the winner goes on to compete in Miss World.[1] Runners-up go to Miss Universe, Miss International and Miss Earth.[1][2]

There are six regional preliminary contests in each of the five rural regions and in the capital Reykjavík. 20 to 24 candidates, three to four from each region, take part in the finals.

Iceland is one of the most successful countries at the Miss World pageant with three victories, a record for a nation with a population of less than half million people.

The current owner of the pageant is Arnar Laufdal Ólafsson.

2013 applicants

Rafn Rafnsson, the new chief executive of the Miss Iceland contest, "in hopes of diversifying the field of contestants beyond the statuesque blonde with striking blue eyes that has become the Icelandic stereotype", said "There is no Miss Iceland stereotype..."[3][4][5] One week later, in response to Rafnsson's statement, 1,300 people applied to become Miss Iceland,[4][5] including several nontraditional candidates, such as:

  • Sigríður Guðmarsdóttir, 48, a female governmental minister in Reykjavik,[4][5]
  • Reynir Sigurðbjörnsson, 47, a male electrician,[5]
  • Ása Richardsdóttir, a 49-year-old female producer in the fine arts industry,[5]
  • Matthildur Helgadóttir-Jónudóttir, a female event manager also in her 40s,[5]
  • Brynhildur Heiðardóttir Ómarsdóttir, a female literary critic,[5]
  • Sigríður Ingibjörg Ingadóttir, a female Member of Parliament for the Social Democratic Alliance[3]
  • Guðrún Jónsdóttir, a spokesperson for Stígamót (organization that fights sexual abuse against women),[3]
  • Hildur Lillendahl, a feminist in Iceland,[3]
  • Björk Vilhelmsdóttir, a city councilor of Reykjavík and feminist,[6]
  • Þórdís Elva Þorvaldsdóttir, a writer and actress[6]

In response to the increase of nontraditional applicants, Rafnsson said, "We have to follow the rules set by the international contest."[4][5] This "means rejecting any applicants younger than 18 or older than 24. In addition to the age limits, contestants must be unmarried, childless and, of course, female."[4][5] Íris Telma Jonsdóttir, Iceland's 2012 Miss World contestant, "has the unfortunate job of sifting through applications for the coming Miss Iceland contest and the publicity stirred by feminists has even sparked an abnormally high influx of legitimate hopefuls. That means she has a lot more reading to do before selecting the field of 25 women who will actually compete for a chance to move on to Miss World."[4][5]

Pageant Notes

  • Unnur Steinsson was Miss Iceland 1983 and finished in the top five positions at the Miss World finals the same year. She is the mother of Unnur Birna Vilhjálmsdóttir who won the Miss Iceland pageant in 2005 and became Miss World 2005.[3] Steinsson was three months pregnant when she carried Unnur and competed in the 1983 contest, which was strictly forbidden and could have led to disqualification. Her daughter, Unnur, as mentioned, won the pageant 22 years later.
  • In 2011, Guðlaug Dagmar Jónasdóttir won second place and Sigríður Dagbjört Ásgeirsdóttir won third place.[3]
