The first Miss Sweden pageant was won by Kerstin Ringberg.

Notable winners

The year of 1992 was the first time the pageant was broadcast. The promoters were a commercial channel alongside a magazine released for females. The readers picked their favourites and the winner was chosen among a panel of judges. The Miss Universe pageant was shown on Swedish television for the first time ever a few months later.
In 2001, winners were picked via a telephone poll. There was still an acting jury, giving suggestions over whom they might believe be potential for the Miss Universe pageant.
The last winner was crowned in early 2004, with the winner being Katarina Wigander, and she was crowned by Moore! Magazine.
