The Miss Ecuador pageant has a long and storied history. The first Miss Ecuador, Sara Chacón Zúñiga from Guayas, was crowned in 1930.

This year’s Miss Universe Ecuador finale, hosted at Zoila Ugarte Park in Machala, was a spectacular event.

They were judged not only on their physical attributes but also on their intelligence, personality, and ability to articulate their visions for the future. Each delegate brings her unique story and perspective, enriched by the diverse cultural tapestry of Ecuador.
The Miss Ecuador organization is actively involved in fostering national pride and cultural expression. They encourage students, professionals, and artisans to contribute to the pageant by participating in the design of the crown. This inclusive approach allows the competition to celebrate the creativity and artistry of the Ecuadorian people, providing a platform to showcase their talents on a global scale.
The Miss Universe 2024 competition promises to be a display of beauty, grace, and intelligence, bringing together women from across the planet. It will be a chance for Mara Topic to not only represent her country but also to advocate for causes she believes in.
