History edit
The contest was first held in 2006 and was known as Miss Continente Americano. The event was restricted to Latin American countries originally and later changed its name to Miss United Continents in 2013, in addition to allowing competitions from outside of the Americas compete.[3] The competition is almost always held in Guayaquil, Ecuador with endorsement of the Municipality of Guayaquil.[3][4] The event is usually broadcast for free on GamaTV, as they host the event.[3][1][2][5]
The competition has several goals including to form a union between various countries through their pageant ambassadors and to promote tourism in the city of Guayaquil.[2][1] The prize for winning the competition is a gold-plated silver and precious stone crown designed by Christian Quinteros. Winners also receive $6,000 in cash and other prizes from sponsors.[1]
Competitors are judged on beauty, elegance and intelligence.[2] Competitors who are finalists or winners of national versions of beauty pageants including Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and Miss Earth are eligible to compete.[6]
Qualifications edit
Contestants must meet various requirements including being under 27 years old, not having any children and not having visible tattoos or piercings.[1]
