Miss Tanzania beauty pageant was established in 1967, and the participants were mostly from Dar es Salaam.
In 1968, the government banned beauty contests in the country before it was re-introduced in 1994 and the event picked Aina Maeda as the first Miss Tanzania who also compete in the Miss World pageant.
Tanzania ended its decade-long drought in 2005, Miss World when Nancy Sumari finished among the top six finalists and Miss World Africa.
