physical beauty of its contestants, although such contests have evolved to also
incorporate personality, intelligence, talent, and answers to judges' questions as
judged criteria. The phrase almost invariably refers only to contests for women

likely to be bodybuildingcontests.

swimsuit modelling, and personal interviews. Possible awards include titles,
