Titleholders
In 2005, the Miss Indonesia winner for the first time competed at the Miss ASEAN pageant, where the second edition was held in Jakarta, Indonesia and placed as the 1st Runner-up. In 2006, Miss Indonesia lost the franchise of the Miss ASEAN pageant and repositioned as Miss World Indonesia to represent Indonesia at the Miss World pageant. On occasions, when the winner does not qualify (due to age) for either contest, a runner-up is sent.
The winner of the contest receives the title Miss Indonesia and is eligible to represent Indonesia in the Miss World pageant. Miss Indonesia wears a crown of white gold with swarovski, presented by Untung Bersama Sejahtera (UBS Gold) since 2009.
In 2016, UBS Gold introduced the new Miss Indonesia crown model. The philosophy of the crown is Beauty with a Purpose that Miss Indonesia joins hands with the weak and children to make the world better.[4]

Controversy
In recent years, there has been criticism that some participants do not come from, and have never even set foot in, the area they represent. This is because Miss Indonesia auditions are generally held only in major cities, so not all regions can be represented. Potential participants may hold a sash from particular province, although they have no connection with that province.[6][7][8]
