Miss Venezuela

Miss Venezuela is the main national beauty pageant of Venezuela that has been held annually since 1952, where the first winner was Sofía Silva Inserri (Miss Bolívar). Each contestant represents a state and/or region of the country and the winner of the title wears it for a period of about one year. The current Miss Venezuela 2022, crowned on November 16, 2022, at the Poliedro de Caracas, is Diana Carolina Silva from the Capital District.

Miss Venezuela is a popular contest with a massive following throughout Venezuela and even internationally, especially in America and Asia. The official sponsor of the pageant is the Cisneros Organization and together they make up the Miss Venezuela Organization. It is currently led by an executive committee, by the former misses: Nina Sicilia, Miss International 1985 and María Gabriela Isler, Miss Universe 2013. The Cisneros Organization organizes this contest and its two sister contests, the Miss Venezuela World (which is held occasionally) and Mr. Venezuela. This same organization maintains, markets and schedules the activities and needs of the three holders of the titles (Miss Venezuela Universe, Miss Venezuela World and Miss Venezuela International), with its main image being the Miss Venezuela Universe in office..

The pageant is broadcast and produced live by the Venezuelan television network Venevisión, and had corrected versions in the United States, the Philippines and Mexico by ABS-CBN, NBC, Univision and Telemundo respectively, for a period of 10 years. It is also broadcast to Hispanic countries through OnDirecTV and Ve Plus, and to the United States through Ve Plus, as well as by streaming and on online platforms such as YouTube.

History

Background

On May 7, 1905, Manuela Victoria Mujica Antich, representative of the state of Lara, was elected by popular vote as Miss Venezuela. Many authors and scholars of the history of the Miss Venezuela contest consider her to be the first Miss Venezuela that existed and that vote as a precursor to the contest as it is currently known. At the Country Club of Caracas Miriam Cupello was elected Beauty Queen of Venezuela 1949, in the midst of a turbulent scene due to the overthrow of President Rómulo Gallegos. She then headed to Peru, where she attended the contest for the Queens of Latin America held in Lima, becoming Queen of the Caribbean and Amazon. Before the Lima press she declared that "Beauty is the only non-renewable resource."

Independent (1952-1981)

The Miss Venezuela contest was officially founded in 1952 by Panamerican Airways (Pan Am), together with the businesswoman Gloria Sánchez, with the advertising and tourism purpose of sending a Venezuelan representative to the Miss Universe contest, in California, United States, which had been created that same year by the company Pacific Mills to promote its new brand of swimsuits and bikinis «Catalina».

The speed with which the contestants were chosen for that first contest would characterize its first editions, in which the parades with different clothing were held over the course of a week or more in different locations in the country. Due to protests by religious organizations of the time, the swimsuit parades were held in private, only for the jurors.

Unlike the current contest, there was no prior training and both makeup and costumes were the responsibility of the contestants. No prizes were awarded either, since the sole objective of the contest was to elect a local representative for the Miss Universe in Long Beach, California, as well as attract tourism to the country. During these years, representatives would also begin to be chosen for the Miss World and Miss International contests.

After a first interruption in 1954 during the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez, Panamerican Airways ceded the rights of the contest in 1955 to journalist and musicologist Reinaldo Espinoza Hernández, who despite the triumph of Susana Duijm in the Miss Mundo of that year (the first Spanish American to take a great international crown), after facing protests by the Catholic Church and feminist movements, added to the lack of interest by the press,

With a greater business vision, Acosta-Rubio immediately changed the format of Miss Venezuela, turning the semi-improvised tourist contest into the organized annual institution that exists today. To choose the contestants with professional and responsible criteria, she created the so-called Venezuelan Beauty Committee, developed the advertising projection of the event and broadcast it for the first time on television in 1962, through the Radio Caracas Television. Furthermore, at the 1962 event she charged an entrance fee of 5 bolivars (about $2.35 at the time). With all these changes in the late 1960s, the Miss Venezuela pageant was a favorite among Venezuelans and more importantly for Acosta-Rubio, a profitable and appreciated business.

In 1968, the swimsuit and gala show was broadcast for the first time on television and although it was not of major importance at the time, that same year Osmel Sousa began to work as a graphic and fashion designer for the contest. In 1969, Ignacio Font Coll brother-in-law of Edwin Acosta-Rubio who was the creator and president of OPPA Publicidad, appointed him as director of the current Miss Venezuela Organization.

Already in the 1960s, Acosta-Rubio's organization had begun to obtain excellent results with Mercedes Revenga first runner-up in the Miss Beauty Form 1964 and later semi-finalist in Miss Universe 1964, the election of Mariela Pérez Branger and Peggy Kopp as first and third finalists in the Miss Universe 1967 and 1968, respectively, Adriana López winning the Miss Planet Resort 1967, Judith Castillo first finalist in the Miss Universe 1976, and Zully Guilarte winning the Miss Tourism of Central America and the Caribbean 1968, as well as numerous other classifieds around the world, served as an opening for the triumph of Maritza Sayalero in the Miss Universe 1979, the first to be televised in color in the country. With Sayalero, what is considered the golden era of Miss Venezuela began.

Since 1972, the Cisneros Organization acquired the rights to begin producing and broadcasting the beauty contest through its channel, Venevisión, the outstanding participation of Miss Venezuela 1972, María Antonieta Cámpoli, in Miss Universe 1972 as second finalist, was the great triumph for the born project. She also later obtained the first crown of the Miss Intercontinental pageant in 1974, by the Bolivarian, María Emilia de los Ríos, which marks the moment when the maturity of the contest begins to bear fruit.

Miss Venezuela Organization (1981-present)

In 1981, with the triumph of Irene Sáez in Miss Universe and Pilín León in Miss World, in addition to the death of Ignacio Font Coll in the same year; The Cisneros Organization took charge of Miss Venezuela in 1982, and the Miss Venezuela Organization was officially structured. After this, Cisneros and Acosta-Rubio appointed Osmel Sousa, an employee of the organization for many years, in February 1982 as successor to Ignacio Font Coll, who directed the presidency of the contest, and they appointed Joaquín Riviera, María Kallay and Mery Cortez as producer, coordinator and choreographer respectively of the event.

From that moment on, Miss Venezuela reached a high level and international prestige, when Venezuelan women won the international crowns of any contest that existed anywhere in the world, or at least, they were among the first 6 finalists. In the 1990s, the Miss Venezuela Organization was classified as the most successful international beauty pageant.

Starting in 1984, the crowns used in the organization's pageants would be made by George Wittels, who until July 2018 was the official person in charge of making the goldsmithing pieces for the Miss Venezuela contest. Wittels was succeeded by Mrs. Mila Toledo (who was Miss Distrito Federal 1980). In 1996 it began to have a website, missvenezuela.com.

In 2009, Venezuela achieved the Guinness Record by being the first and so far only representation in the Miss Universe to be crowned by another winner from the same nation.

In 2010, the pageant acquired the Miss Earth franchise which it maintained until 2015, obtaining an Alyz Henrich crown as Miss Earth 2013,

Joaquín Riviera would be in charge of the contest until his death in 2012, later after the death of María Kallay in 2013, the production of the event was in charge of Peggy Navarro, Ricardo Di Salvatore, Vicente Alvarado and Erick Simonato; who were part of the production team along with Riviera as its general producer. In 2015 Peggy left the position, leaving three managers who to this day continue to be part of the Miss Venezuela Organization.

In 2016, Mery Cortez announced her departure from the contest and from Venevision after almost 45 years as choreographic producer of the contest and with the help of the deceased Joaquin Riviera.

On February 6, 2018, from the social network Instagram, the president of the Miss Venezuela Organization, Osmel Sousa, for more than 40 years, announced his retirement from the organization, leaving the presidency vacant from that moment, shortly after It would be known that the reins of the contest would be handled by the former misses: Gabriela Isler, Miss Universe 2013; Jacqueline Aguilera, Miss World 1995 and Top Model of the World 1995; and Nina Sicilia, Miss International 1985, with the aim of giving a new direction to one of the most important beauty pageants on the planet.

On April 17, 2018, from the same social network, the Miss Venezuela Organization, through an intrigue campaign, revealed the images of who would be the new executive committee; A day later, it was confirmed as it had been speculating that Nina Sicilia, Miss International 1985, Jacqueline Aguilera, Miss World 1995 and Gabriela Isler, Miss Universe 2013 will form an Executive Committee in charge of leading the evolution of the pageant, replacing the old figure of the president and acting as the highest leadership body of the pageant.

The contest

Currently, Miss Venezuela takes place between the months of September, October or November, after about three months or more of preliminary events such as the Interactive Beauty Gala, in which the candidates present themselves to the press and receive awards and ribbons from sponsors and international brands.

This event is broadcast on television and is of notable public interest, while the coronation event has been for many years the most watched television program in Venezuela although it has lasted up to 5 hours in 1995.

Over the years, Miss Venezuela has traditionally been held at the Poliedro de Caracas, or in the convention centers of the most important hotels in the city of Caracas such as the Hotel Intercontinental Tamanaco or in other venues such as the Macuto Sheraton Hotel in Vargas state, in the Palacio de Eventos in the city of Maracaibo in 2010, and in theaters such as the Teresa Carreño Theater, and even in the Venevisión studios.

The candidates are selected from among thousands of girls, either from regional franchises or because they were selected directly by the Miss Venezuela Organization, which decides the number of participants, which usually varies between 24 and 26 candidates.

Normally, there is one candidate for each of the 23 states of Venezuela plus the Capital District, but the number can reach up to 28 and even 30 or 32 candidates, since sometimes important geographic regions are included within them. states, such is the case of the Guajira Peninsula, Paraguaná Peninsula, Eastern Coast, Canaima, Federal Dependencies or Guayana Esequiba, among others.

It is important to note that the candidate does not necessarily have to be native of the state or region to represent, Miss Venezuela has never placed special emphasis on this aspect, in order to encourage the participation of all candidates regardless of their state of origin; For example, Ly Jonaitis, Miss Guárico and Miss Venezuela 2006, is from Valencia, Carabobo state.

Due to this, even though states such as Aragua, Táchira, Lara, Zulia and Carabobo hold beauty contests to choose the representative for Miss Venezuela, the winner of these regional contests won the right to represent the state in the final. of the contest. However, starting in 2013 and with the incorporation of reality shows, these regional franchises select a group of participants that can range between five and ten, or even more, who become direct candidates for the event, to later be selected. the official candidates, within a group that exceeds up to 150 applicants, although it may vary if the case arises, starting in 2018 the EPI or also called Individual Preference Evaluation is incorporated. i>, where Miss Venezuela candidates, after prior online registration, are individually evaluated in the fifth Miss Venezuela for preselection.

The stage of the Miss Venezuela pageant has brought together great national and international artists such as: Celia Cruz, Oscar D'León, Chino y Nacho, Tito El Bambino, Wilfrido Vargas, Luis Fonsi, David Bisbal, Jorge Celedón, Daddy Yankee, Wisin y Yandel, Olga Tanón, Prince Royce, Kudai, Miguel Bosé, Chayanne, Ricky Martin, Romeo Santos, Franco de Vita, Ricardo Montaner, Simón Díaz, Raphael, Rocío Dúrcal, Kiara, Karina, among many; accompanied by great choreographies, such as those presented by La Primerísima de América, Mirla Castellanos, in her presentations in 1980, 1982 and 1984; and that of Celia Cruz in 1987. It should be noted that Mirla Castellanos has been the artist with the highest number of appearances in this contest throughout its history.

Format

This pageant is responsible for selecting the country's representatives for Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and until 2015 for Miss Earth (which as of 2016 is selected by a different franchise, called Miss Earth Venezuela).; as well as designations at the time to pageants such as the International Coffee Queen, Reina Hispanoamericana, and other beauty pageants of international and continental stature such as Miss United Continents, Miss Supranational, Miss Grand International, and Miss Intercontinental.

Until the 2011 edition, the representative for Miss World was chosen in the same version; However, after Miss World 2012 and in response to the request of the Miss World Organization by President Julia Morley, a meeting was held between her president, in Caracas, with her counterpart Osmel Sousa. The Miss Venezuela Organization made the decision to adjust the parameters of the Miss Venezuela pageant, dividing it into two events: one to crown the representatives for Miss Universe, Miss International and another to choose the country's candidate for Miss World, said Pageant was called Miss Venezuela World. However, as of 2016 this last contest is not held, so the first finalist of Miss Venezuela 2016 is later designated to Miss World that same year, for 2017 onwards the decision is again made to crown Miss Venezuela World the same night of the Miss Venezuela pageant.

Traditionally, the contest lasts approximately four hours live, with the possibility of extension. In most cases, it takes place in mid-September or November. Its main and most famous place of production has been the Poliedro de Caracas since the 1990s, although since 2011 it has been performed at the Venevisión studios, mainly Studio 1, and since 2017 in Studio 5.

The parade is preceded by a month of preliminary events, including the corporate awards, the press presentation and the Interactive Beauty Gala, this stage is called Beauty Season, which In turn, it also includes numerous television programs.

Under the direction of Osmel Sousa, Venezuela has won more world beauty titles than any other country, including the four largest, main and most famous pageants or known as The Big Four: < b>7 winners of Miss Universe, 6 winners of Miss World, 9 winners of Miss International and 2 winners of Miss Earth. In addition, Venezuela has accumulated other crowns in other contests: 7 winners of Reina Hispanoamericana and 5 winners of Miss Intercontinental, among others.

Contest winners

From 1952 to 2006 there were 54 Misses in 54 years despite the two years in which the contest was not held (1954 and 1959). The correction occurred with the resignation of María José Yellici and Elluz Peraza in 1969 and 1976, respectively. In both cases they were replaced by the first runners-up, Marzia Piazza and Judith Castillo, who served as Miss Venezuela successfully until the end of the reign.

In all years the winners were chosen by a grand jury during the final coronation ceremony, except for Miss Miranda 1991, Jackeline Rodríguez, who was directly designated by Osmel Sousa after meeting her at a university, to represent Venezuela in the Miss Universe because that year the Miss Venezuela was postponed from February to May, which happened after the international contest. From then on, the winners of Miss Venezuela participate in the Miss Universe of the following year, as well as in Miss World and Miss International.

As for these entries, the rules have changed over the years, and a hierarchy system is used based on the importance of the international contests according to the organization. Thus, the winner of Miss Venezuela participates in Miss Universe, the one who occupies second place in Miss World, and the third in Miss International, for some years the representative for Miss Earth was also awarded on the final night of Miss Venezuela. between 2010 and 2015.

They or other finalists participate in smaller competitions around the world, which is entirely at the discretion of the organization directly. From 2013 to 2015, the candidate representing Venezuela in Miss World was chosen in a separate contest called Miss Venezuela World, however, in 2016 the contest was not held, so Diana Croce Miss Nueva Esparta and first runner-up of Miss Venezuela 2016, would be designated to represent Venezuela in Miss World 2016, the same system would be repeated with the designation of Ana Carolina Ugarte as Miss Venezuela World 2017. Starting in 2018, the traditional selection system is recovered on the final night, (Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International).

At the beginning, candidates elected from the pageants held in Zulia, Carabobo, Lara, Táchira, Bolívar and Aragua are chosen, together with those chosen in the Fifth Miss Venezuela in the Capital District, to have the total of final candidates who will go to the final night; they are known more deeply during the progress of the program week by week.

The final night

It is the most anticipated event of the entire contest, divided into several segments starting with the usual Opening, where a national and/or international artist together with the candidates do a pre-show with the < i>Anthem of Miss Venezuela, then the Swimsuit Parade continues, then the Gala Suit Parade where the costumes are unveiled of the best designers in the country, to then choose the table of the ten Semifinalists who will face the Question Round and then reduce the number of candidates to the Box of Honor, where the finalists and the Winner are finally announced.

The night of the winners

It is a special program broadcast by Venevisión, traditionally since 2014, where the winners of the contest are received, along with the winner of La Magia de ser Miss, where they tell their anecdotes and feelings after winning.

Roll of honor

In the current honor roll of the contest, 10 candidates are chosen to be the semi-finalists. The current honor roll is made up as follows:

Until the 2011 edition, the second place winner took the title of Miss Venezuela World and represented Venezuela in the Miss World. But for different reasons, the representative of Venezuela at Miss World was chosen starting in 2013 in a different event called Miss Venezuela World, although this was not held in 2016, and since then 2 representatives of the country at Miss World were designated, However, in Miss Venezuela 2017, Miss Venezuela World was chosen, after 4 years. Likewise, until 2015, Miss Venezuela Earth was chosen during Miss Venezuela, but starting in 2016, the winner of this title is chosen by the Miss Earth Venezuela franchise in a separate event, the same is presented with the minor Miss Supranational contests, Miss Grand International, and Miss Intercontinental.
