Miss Universe Kazakhstan
In 2015 Sovet Seitov decided to make changes in sending the Miss Kazakhstan delegation to Miss Universe. Previously the main winner would automatically go to Miss Universe and now this has been changed to be more specific. Miss Almaty as a provincial-level organization that is considered very competitive in selecting representatives is given the mandate to select the winning representative for Miss Universe. Starting in 2015, the winner of Miss Almaty has the right to represent Kazakhstan at Miss Universe and of course the national pageant, Miss Kazakhstan. However, this format turned out to be not very significant, so in 2019 Sovet Seitov reversed the format and finally, in 2021 Miss Kazakhstan crowned 3 winners at once in their respective events, namely Qazaqstan Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss Earth.
