Background

However, In 1999, the Miss World Organization also requested that the winner of Miss Venezuela, Martina Thorogood, represented the country at Miss World. After her placement as 1st runner-up in Miss World 1999, the Miss Venezuela Organization founded Miss World Venezuela as an independent pageant to Miss Venezuela.
