Miss Tampere is a Finnish beauty pageant that has been held regularly since 2012.[1]
Information edit
The competition was first held in 2012 and is run by the modelling agency, Studio Face.[2] The competition is only open to citizens of Finland over the age of 18. There are no other major restrictions as married women, mothers and women with visible tattoos are allowed to compete.[2] The competition is free to enter and applications are typically accepted in October.[2] The competition is held in Tampere, Finland.[3]
Controversy arose in 2015 when a Miss Tampere finalist was revealed to only be 17-years-old. The contestant was removed from the competition, and she was replaced by another competitor.[4]
