Miss Kazakhstan started in 1997 from Sovet Seitov management. Being the most prestigious national pageant, Miss Kazakhstan became the pioneer of national beauty pageants in Kazakhstan. 17 regions and 3 cities across Kazakhstan compete for the crown. Miss Kazakhstan is the national modern beauty agency in Kazakhstan which has the right to select representatives to international events such as Miss Universe (since 2006), Miss World (since 1998), and Miss Earth (since 2021).
Since 2022, former Miss Kazakhstan 2014 who is also Kazakhstan's representative at Miss Universe 2014, Aiday Isaeva has been crowned President of Miss Kazakhstan. In that year the name Miss Kazakhstan was rebranded using the local language name "Miss Qazaqstan".
Formats
The Miss Qazaqstan competition is traditionally holding provincial representation every year. The 17 and 3 cities across Kazakhstan will compete for the crown. In the final result, there will be a Second Runner-up, a First Runner-up, and then finally 3 grand winners, Miss Earth Qazaqstan, Miss Universe Qazaqstan, and Miss Qazaqstan.
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.
In 2021 Miss Kazakhstan Organization decided to divide the Miss Kazakhstan winner into the 3 categories; Qazaqstan Miss Universe, Qazaqstan Miss World, and Qazaqstan Miss Earth. Since 2022 the transfer of leadership to Aiday Isaeva management, a new format is being held where Kazakhstan's representative for Miss World is the winner of Miss Qazaqstan and also the representatives for Miss Universe and Miss Earth.
