Fund-raising pageant such as Miss Australia (6,7)

I believe the answer is:

beauty contest

(Other definitions for beauty contest that I've seen before include "Where might a queen be crowned" , "Looks show" , "Miss World, for example" , "Competition to be Miss Wherever" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
