Miss Paraguay is a national beauty pageant in Paraguay established in 1957 that selects the Paraguay's representative to Miss Intercontinental and Reinado Internacional del Café.

The current Miss Paraguay is Milagros Aramí Walther of Alto Paraná who was crowned on September 23, 2023 at the Centro Paraguayo Japonés in Asunción, Paraguay.[1]

History[edit]

The Miss Paraguay pageant was created in 1957 by the dictator Alfredo Stroessner and the Secretary of Tourism of Paraguay.

In 1970, the contest was organized by Dinam Publicidad and took place in the Presidential Hall of the Hotel Guaraní.[2]

Then in 1990, Guillermo Rolón and the SNT took over Miss Paraguay until 2001. In the 1996 edition of the Miss Ámbar Mundial pageant, Adriana Baum from Paraguay was the winner, she was also the winner of Miss Teen Panamericana 1997. The organization stopped sending representatives to Miss Universe until 2001, with Paraguay absent in 2002 and 2003. The pageant was not held in 1959, 1968, 1969, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

In July 2020, it was reported that the coronation night scheduled to take place on August 14 was canceled due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] In 2021 the contest was canceled for the same reason.[4] In July 2022, the death of the organization's president, Guillermo Rolón, was reported and the pageant did not take place that year either.[5] Since the death of Rolón, his widow, Graciela Venialgo, has taken charge of the organization.[6]
