History

The Miss Universe Nepal officially began in 2017 and the first title was handed over to Nagma Shrestha.[2] The contest was conducted by Hidden Treasure Nepal until 2019 when Brave, Bold & Beautiful (previously known as Ma: Nepali) became the official franchisee for Miss Universe on 11 June 2020.[3] During a digital press conference on 11 June 2020, it was announced that Miss Universe Nepal will be an all digital competition starting right from the registration; participants will be able to register themselves through the MUN app.[4]
