EXMO bitcoin exchange and Russian cryptocurrency news portal BTCsec announced the winners of Miss Bitcoin 2014 contest last week.

As we reported in early July, the contest was open to women 16 and over, and had two rounds. In order to participate in the first round (June 19th-July 19th), contestants submit a short bio and 2-5 photos of themselves posing with the EXMO logo. Ten finalists – based on Internet voting – moved to the second round, which kicked off July 20 and ended July 31.

Finalists who made it to the second round had to submit a new photo, again posing with the EXMO logo.

Each winner has been involved with Bitcoin in some way. Anya and Evgeniya - the respective first and second place winners - have been mining for quite some time themselves. The third place winner, Alyona, is the girlfriend of a BTC miner who is active on the forums.

Winners could choose between an amount of Bitcoin (3, 2, or 1 BTC) or an Iphone 5s. However, each woman chose BTC over the phone.

The goal of the contest was to attract public attention to cryptocurrency communities and support their role in the financial state system.
