History

[edit]

Began in 1952 the committee of Miss Uruguay held Miss Uruguay for Miss Universe the first time. Between 1965 and 1979 the pageant was broadcast on TV under Miguel Angel Viera Bruchou. The Miss Uruguay constantly sends its winner to the Miss Universe and runner-up to Miss World. In addition, Miss Uruguay winners may compete to Miss International, Reina Hispanoamericana, Miss Intercontinental, Miss United Continents, Reina Internacional del Café and Miss America Latina.

[edit]

In 2000 due to financial support, Miss Uruguay lost the Miss International franchise. Started in that year, Miss Uruguay selects its winner to only Miss Universe and first runner-up to Miss World.

In 2004 after Mieguel Angel Viera Bruchou directed the Miss Uruguay contest, the Promociones Gloria took over to hold Miss Universo Uruguay pageant where the main winner automatically went to Miss Universe and runner-up participated to Miss World. The Gloria pageant had existed until 2006. In 2006 Antonio Vergara Olmos purchased Miss Universe franchise to Uruguay. The pageant was broadcast on Teledoce (2006–2007) and TV Ciudad (2008–2010). Between 2011 and 2015 the Miss Uruguay held at Conrad Hotel in Punta del Este.

Osmel Sousa, former Miss Venezuela President, took over the Miss Universe license in Uruguay in 2019, and picked a delegate to attend the international pageant.

In 2020, Nadia Cerri, director of the Miss World license in Argentina, took over the Miss World and Miss Universe licenses in Uruguay, and is proceeding to organize separate competitions of Miss Mundo Uruguay and Miss Universo Uruguay.
