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.Miss World Indonesia Before 2006
