History

In 2005, the Miss Earth Liberia franchise was obtained by Beauties of Africa Inc, owned by Mr. Andy A. Abulime. However, the first year Liberia sent a representative to Miss Earth was in 2006 with Rachel Bidmia Njinimbam as the first Miss Earth Liberia titleholder and competed in Miss Earth 2006.[1]

Wokie Dolo, former Miss World Liberia 2017 and owner of La Queen Entertainment serves as the national director.[2]

The 2020 pageant was slated to be held on March 28th, but is now currently postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
