Miss Nagaland is an Indian state beauty pageant held annually since 1989 in Nagaland, northeast India. The Beauty and Aesthetics Society of Nagaland has been organizing the beauty pageant since 1991. Miss Nagaland does not officially send any of its winners or previous contestants to participate in other beauty pageants. Nevertheless, a number of its beauty queens have over the years gone on to compete independently in other beauty pageants at the regional and national levels, as well as internationally.[1]
Miss Nagaland is not affiliated with Femina which has since 2017 introduced a new format for the selection of contestants for the Femina Miss India national beauty pageant. Femina holds a separate audition to crown a Femina Miss India Nagaland winner to represent the state of Nagaland at Femina Miss India.[2]
The reigning Miss Nagaland is Vikuonuo Sachü.[3]
The 31st edition of the Miss Nagaland pageant was held on 9 December 2019 in Jotsoma, Kohima. Vikuonuo Sachü from Kohima was crowned the winner at the end of the event.[3]
