[edit] Selection process
From around 105 nations of the world, the first fifteen were chosen in which three women automatically qualified after winning the preliminary contests. These three winners were the fast track winners of the Miss Talent, Beachwear Beauty, and Beauty With A Purpose contests. The other twelve were picked from each continental zone, i.e. The Americas, Asia, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Africa and The Caribbean zones. The twelve women and the fast track winners then qualified as the continental winners. Afterwards, the nine former Miss Worlds that made up the judging panel then selected the ultimate six final continental winners for the last round. In the end, the runners-up of Miss World 2005 were announced first, continued by the winner of the Miss World 2005 crown.
