Alternative Miss World (AMW) started in 1972, and unlike the normal Miss World contest, it isn't about the beauty, it's all about the transformation of the contestants themselves. Each year that it is held there is a different theme to the year, such as Earth, Fire, Circus, and Royal Imperial.
The contestants must have 3 costumes, day wear, swim-wear, and evening wear, however they are allowed no rehearsals and must perform their abilities on the night and anything can happen from this freedom.
"It's about creative free-reign, about the ordinary becoming extraordinary. Contestants over the years have been famous and infamous, celebrated and unknown, a parade of freaks, fops, show offs and drag queens... including Andrew's many friends and family! The climax is a tear stained coronation with Logan's dazzling Crown Jewels made of broken mirrors."
The event has been held on the following years with the themes:
- 1972 / "Party"
- 1973 / "Andrew Logan's Miss World"
-1975 / "Wild"
- 1978 / "Circus"
- 1981 / "Royal Imperial"
- 1985 / "Water"
- 1986 / "Earth"
- 1991 / "Air"
- 1995 / "Fire"
- 1998 / "Void"
- 2004 / "Universe"
- 2009 / "Elements"
Each of the events had their own handmade crowns made from broken glass by Andrew Logan, the creator of the event.
