Bahrami was the second Afghan candidate to join the contest. The first Afghan contestant was condemned in her conservative homeland after appearing in a bikini when she joined in 2003. Miss Earth 2005 was given to Alexandra Braun Waldeck. The event is a privately-organized annual beauty contest that aims to promote public awareness of environmental protection issues and promote tourism.
