The Alternative alternative miss world competition was a collaborative project conceived in response to artist Andrew Logan’s Alternative Miss World competition which began in his flat in Hackney in 1972 and more recently in 2018 at the Globe theatre with past guests, hosts and competitors including everyone from Derek Jarman, David Hockney and Zandra Rhodes to Grayson Perry, Divine, Leigh Bowery and the stars of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Unlike Miss World, anyone could enter, men & women and everyone would be judged on the same criteria as the dog show Crufts: poise, personality and originality.
The Alternative Alternative Miss World competition took place in 2015 in a bunker in Dalston and then at the Moth Club in 2016. We are currently planning the next edition for 2020.
