Grand Slam titles and placements

History

Hundreds of beauty contests are held every year, but those known as the Big Four are considered the most prestigious, widely covered and broadcast by the international media. These four competitions are: Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and Miss Earth.

Puerto Rico has won Miss Universe five times: 1970 with Marisol Malaret, 1985 with Deborah Carthy-Deu, 1993 with Dayanara Torres, 2001 with Denise Quiñones, and 2006 with Zuleyka Rivera; Miss World twice: 1975 with Wilnelia, Lady Forsyth-Johnson, and 2016 with Stephanie Del Valle; Miss International twice: 1987 with Laurie Simpson, and 2014 with Valerie Hernández; and Miss Earth once: 2019 with Nellys Pimentel.

Together with Brazil, Venezuela, Philippines, and United States, Puerto Rico is one of only five countries that have won the four pageants. In 2019, Puerto Rico was the fourth country to enter this distinguished group of countries with the coronation of Nellys Pimentel as Miss Earth 2019. In 2020, United States became the fifth country to reach this milestone.

The two most prestigious and relevant pageants after the Big four are: Miss Supranational and Miss Grand International.

Puerto Rico has won both competitions once, winning Miss Supranational in 2018 with Valeria Vázquez Latorre, and Miss Grand International in 2013 with Janelee Chaparro Colón in the first edition of the pageant.

These six beauty competitions—Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International, Miss Earth, Miss Supranational, and Miss Grand International—are considered the Big Six or Grand Slam, as they are the most important in the world of beauty contests.

Puerto Rico is the first country—and the only one as of 2023—to have won all six.

Together with Miss Intercontinental, the oldest minor international beauty competition, these major pageants are collectively known as the Big Seven. Puerto Rico has won Miss Intercontinental four times: 1986 with Elizabeth Robinson, 1991 with Carmen Lynda Díaz,[a] 2010 with Maydelise Columna, and 2016 with Heylimar Rosario.

With a decade of history, a high quality production, and more than sixty competing delegates, Miss Global is one of the most relevant international beauty pageants following the seven mentioned above. Puerto Rico earned its first Miss Global crown with Ashley Meléndez, who won the title in the pageant’s 2023 edition.

History

In its various forms, the "Miss Puerto Rico" beauty pageant has been held almost every year since the 1930s.[2] The winner of the contest represents Puerto Rico at the Miss Universe pageant each year.

The selection of Miss Puerto Rico commences the year before the winner advances to participate in the Miss Universe pageant. Each Puerto Rican municipality may choose a representative who then enters the Miss Puerto Rico finals, traditionally held at a San Juan area hotel. The winner is crowned at the conclusion of the final competition.

There have been several changes to the pageant's ownership and name. Miss Puerto Rico was held from 1952 until 1998 under the direction of Anna Santisteban. From 1996 to 1998, Telemundo organized the contest under the name Miss Universe Puerto Rico. From 1999 to 2002, TeleOnce (now Univision Puerto Rico) obtained the franchise, renaming it Miss Puerto Rico Universe. Magali Febles organized the pageant between 2003 and 2009 and the pageant title remained the same. In 2009, Luisito Vigoreaux and Desireé Lowry obtained the franchise and renamed the pageant Miss Universe Puerto Rico. In 2018, WAPA-TV obtained ownership of the franchise, keeping the name of Miss Universe Puerto Rico and hiring Denise Quiñones as the pageant’s director. In 2022, host, motivational speaker, Miss Puerto Rico Petite 2000 (national title), and Miss Global Petite 2000 (international title) Yizette Cifredo Hernández became the new national director of the pageant.

Santisteban produced Miss World Puerto Rico until 1995.

In 1996, Delia Cruz, mother of Miss World Wilnelia Merced, Lady Forsyth-Johnson, obtained the franchise and began organizing the Miss Mundo Puerto Rico pageant with Tania Collazo as organizer for a few years before Desiree Lowry, and later on Shanira Blanco.

History

The Miss Puerto Rico Universe organization sent representatives to Miss Earth between 2001 and 2004 under Magaly Febles. From 2005 to 2013, Puerto Rico's representative to Miss Earth was selected through the Miss Puerto Rico Earth pageant. Under the direction of Shanira Blanco in 2014, the representative was selected through the Miss Mundo Puerto Rico pageant with the 1st Runner-Up being sent to Miss Earth. In 2018, Vanessa de Roide and Joe Amhed took control of the franchise.

Placements

After years of neglect and not placing, Puerto Rico has managed to significantly improve its standing under the direction of Joe Amhed.

Puerto Rico conquered the crown of Miss Earth with Nellys Pimentel in 2019. By winning the crown, Puerto Rico became one of only five countries to win the four most recognized pageants: Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and Miss Earth. By winning, Puerto Rico also became the first—and the only country currently—to win the six most important beauty international competitions: Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International, Miss Earth, Miss Supranational, and Miss Grand International.

As of 2023, Puerto Rico has produced the following placements:

History

Currently, a pageant is not being held to choose the representative of Puerto Rico for Miss Intercontinental. In recent years, the delegate has been chosen from the group of semifinalists in Miss World Puerto Rico.

Placements

Miss Intercontinental was held twice in 1991. Carmen Lynda Díaz from Puerto Rico won the first edition held in Lagos, Nigeria by Nigerian owners of the pageant, Silverbird Productions, which held the franchise from 1986 to 1991, and Elena Ivanova from Russia won the second edition held in Bonn, Germany by organizers working under the direction of the new owners of the pageant, a company from Germany, which held the competition in Europe from 1991 to 2003. Despite not being included in the official archive of the pageant by the current owners, Puerto Rico irrefutably won the first edition of 1991 in Nigeria, thus achieving its second Miss Intercontinental crown.[3][4][5][6][7]

Puerto Rico has produced four winners. With 4 crowns won, Puerto Rico is the second country with the most winners. Venezuela and United States have the most winners with 5 each, while Brazil, Germany, and Russia share the third position of most wins, with 3 winners each.

Since it began to be awarded in 2008, Puerto Rico is the country with the most Miss North America titles, winning it six times as of 2023. Out of the 15 times the title has been awarded, Puerto Rico has won it 6 times, Mexico 3, United States 2, and Costa Rica, Cuba, Jamaica, and Dominican Republic 1.

As of 2023, Puerto Rico has produced the following placements:

Notes

  1. ^ a b c d e f g h Miss Intercontinental was held twice in 1991. Carmen Lynda Díaz from Puerto Rico won the first edition held in Lagos, Nigeria by Nigerian owners of the pageant, Silver Productions, which held the franchise from 1986 to 1991, and Elena Ivanova from Russia won the second edition held in Bonn, Germany by organizers working under the direction of the new owners of the pageant, a company from Germany, which held the competition in Europe from 1991 to 2003. Despite not being included in the official archive of the pageant by the current owners, Puerto Rico irrefutably won the first edition of 1991 in Nigeria, thus achieving its second Miss Intercontinental crown. See Miss Intercontinental Puerto Rico.
