Miss Colombia


Miss Colombia is the national beauty pageant organization in Colombia.
The current Miss Colombia is María Antonia Mosquera of Valle del Cauca, who was crowned on 17 November 2025.

Pageant rules

Colombia has rigid and strict rules regarding participation of any Miss Universe preliminary aspirant: once a contestant registers for the pageant, she is confined to her own Department and cannot move or relocate to other states/provinces. However, she can participate more than once for the same department. As example, the winner of 2003 had already come in fourth place at the Miss Valle pageant the year before she won and eventually went on to win the national title and crown.
Initially, the pageant's winners held the title for six months period; Yolanda Emiliani Roman, Miss Colombia 1934, held her title for the longest reign in the pageant's history. The winner of Señorita Colombia previously represented her country at Miss Universe, but will attend Miss International following a loss of the franchise in 2020. On occasion, when the winner does not qualify for either contest, a runner-up finalist is selected by the national director and sent.
