Some delegates in the pageant during the years that have reached attention are Reine Antoine (1978), Nina Kadis (1998) and Bethany Kehdi (2002).
Miss Lebanon 2006 is Annabella Hilal, handpicked to compete the reign in 2006 and 2007, due political issues in the country. Therefore, 2006 had no pageant.
