The contestants competed in categories such as: Private interview, evening gown, speech presentations, tourism presentations, and talent presentations. The winner of the Miss BC World 2005 pageant, Sasha Abunnadi, represented British Columbia at the Miss World Canada contest in July 2006, winning the Best in Interview award and placing in the top 15. The Miss World Canada pageant will be held in Toronto.

The 2006 Miss BC World competition was held in July 2006 with Natalie Standke winning the title. She took part in Miss World Canada in March 2007. .
Operated by the same organization is the Miss Teen BC World contest. Alex Keiser of Pitt Meadows was named Miss Teen BC World in March of 2006.
