Džejla Glavović (Bosnian, in Cyrillic: Џејла Главовић) Bosnian fashion model and beauty queen. She was crowned in the Philippines as the second Miss Earth representing her country Bosnia and Herzegovina and became the first Bosnian woman to win a major international title in beauty contest.
Glavović won the second edition of Miss Earth, an annual international beauty pageant promoting environmental awareness. She made it to the initial cut of ten semi-finalists and competed in the traditional swimsuit, interview, and evening gown competitions.
She advanced to the top four in the final question and answer round. In the last segment of the competition, the court of four were asked one question, “Which has more significance in your life: the sunrise or the sunset?” Glavović answered:
“Of course sunrise; people tend to be romantic during sunrise, something that symbolizes a new day and a new life. However, it’s not about sunrise or sunset but about the environment and we have to stop talking, start acting.”
She placed the highest score in the interview round and at the conclusion of the second edition of Miss Earth pageant, she was crowned Miss Earth 2002 by the outgoing titleholder Catharina Svensson, which was held in Quezon City, Philippines on 20 October 2002.
She was the first delegate from her country, Bosnia and Herzegovina, to win a title from one of the four major international beauty pageants namely: Miss Earth, Miss International, Miss Universe, and Miss World.
Aside from winning the Miss Earth 2002 title, Glavović also won the Miss Talent special award.
