The contest was first created in 1986, but it was suspended in 1987, only to be revived in 2008. It was again suspended for two years in 2017 and 2018. Each edition of the contest is broadcast on television.
The final, held during a national ceremony and broadcast live on television in the evening, involves a jury composed of artistic, sports, or media personalities, along with votes from viewers, to elect the selected candidate. The winner will hold the title of "Miss Guinea" for an entire year. The candidates are the "Regional Misses," chosen to represent the regions of Guinea and other competitions.
