The jury of the Miss World Poland office will select 16 finalists for a showdown this October, from which only one candidate will go through to the international competition.
The world's largest beauty pageant will ultimately be hosted on Hainan Island, off the coast of south east China, on 19 December.
Contestants will gather in the city of Sanya, a popular tourist destination that is the training site for China's beach volleyball team.

Miss World was founded in the UK in 1951.
Poland's first and only ever woman to be crowned Miss World was Aneta Kręglicka, who won the competition in 1989. (nh)
