History[edit]
The Miss Colombia pageant is held annually in Cartagena. Coverage is given by the media to the contest, including by Cromos magazine which devotes entire issues to the individual contestants favored to win, and four covers of the magazine are devoted to the pageant in a 4-week period.
Every major network sends news crews, and have sets built by the beach in Cartagena to report live for at least fifteen minutes every day towards the end of the news broadcast on the goings-on of the contestants. Aspirants must compete in their respective Departments to earn a title for the pageant.
Rules[edit]
Colombia has strict rules regarding participation of any Miss Universe preliminary: once a contestant registers for the pageant, she is confined to her own Department and cannot move to other states/provinces. However, she can participate more than once for the same department; the winner of the pageant in 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 crown.
Perhaps this rule is the reason for the intense rivalries that have developed between departments (states) to win the most crowns, a couple of them have garnered a significant number, starting with Atlántico (11), Valle (10), Santander (7), Antioquia (6), Bolívar (6).
Prelude to the pageant[edit]
The pageant itself always around 11 November, and many of the activities, such as the entire production of the Cromos magazines devoted to the pageant take place in the weeks preceding the pageant.
There are a number of preliminary events involving the sponsors, such as the election of the Figura Bodytech (the Bodytech Figure) which confers free gym membership at the Bodytech franchise for five years to the contestant with the most toned, harmonious and healthy body of the pageant.
List of winners of Figura Bodytech prize[edit]
- 2005 – Valerie Dominguez (Atlántico)
- 2006 – Laura Montoya Escobar(Antioquia)
- 2007 – Maria Cristina Diaz-Granados (Bogotá)
- 2008 – Stephanie Garcés Aljure (Valle del Cauca)
- 2009 – Natalia Navarro Galvis (Bolívar)
- 2010 – Natalia Valenzuela Cutiva (Huila)
- 2011 – Thael Lisney Osorio Redondo (Cundinamarca)
- 2012 – María Alejandra Valencia Guerra (Cauca)
- 2013 – Tania Valencia Cuero (Valle del Cauca)
- 2014 – Viviana Alexandra Dávila Giraldo (Bogotá)
Since the prize was first awarded, the winner of the Bodytech Figure prize has gone on to win Miss Colombia each year except for in 2006 and 2007 when they became Runners-up. There are also prizes for the contestant with the best hair (Silueta Schwarzkopff brand), the most photogenic candidate (Sony), the most punctual (who receives an Edox watch), most beautiful costume, and even the mothers of the delegates must compete in a talent show to select the "Queen Mother."

Controversies[edit]
David Letterman on Miss Colombia[edit]
In May 2001, David Letterman joked about the 'special talent' which the then-reigning Miss Colombia Andrea Noceti possessed – that she was able to "swallow 50 balloons full of heroin" for the (non-existent) talent competition in the Miss Universe 2001 pageant. The remark not only infuriated the beauty queen, but also the people in Colombia.[2]
Miss Colombia openly threatened to sue Letterman but later withdrawn the statement after Letterman formally apologised to her in the Late Show with David Letterman about the quip made. Letterman had invited the beauty queen to appear on his show as a gesture of appeasement.[3]
