Notes
[edit]- Originally, Lisa-Mari Moen Jünge was chosen to represent Norway in Miss Universe 2008, but since she already had crowned her successor, Lene Egeli, the Miss Universe Organization declared that they would not accept her as a contestant. Therefore, a special pageant was held, called Norske Miss Universe 2008 (Norwegian Miss Universe 2008), where all of the finalists (except for the winner Lene Egeli) of Frøken Norge 2008, in addition to Christine Ruste Hinna from Hønefoss who was the closest to reach the Top 10 of Frøken Norge 2008, competed. Mariann Birkedal, 1st Runner-up of Frøken Norge 2008, won the contest and went on to compete in Miss Universe 2008 in Vietnam.
