Miss Universe Turkiye () is a national Beauty pageant in Turkey.
History
Miss Universe Turkiye debuted in 2024 under Shakir Sela in Istanbul. Before 2024 Miss Turkey winners competed at Miss Universe competition.
1980s Since 1980 Miss Turkey pageant was initially promoted by the newspaper Cumhuriyet. It has been run by the "Miss Turkey Organization". Between the years 1980–1990, the contest was sponsored by the newspapers Güneş, Sabah, Tercüman, Bulvar, and some others.
1990s With the establishment of private TV channels in Turkey in 1990, the channels Magic Box, Show TV, Channel D, Star TV, NTV, CNBC-e and FOX TV took over the promotion of the pageant.
2000 The Miss Universe-delegate during the year 2000, Cansu Dere, was forbidden by the Turkish Government to travel to the 2000 Miss Universe pageant, in Cyprus, unless she could pass through Northern Cyprus, which was then forbidden for any visitor to the Republic of Cyprus. The competition committee in Turkey made arrangements for her to travel through Athens, but the day before her departure the government refused to let her go, "for political reasons". This was the second delegate that was not allowed to represent Turkey that year.
