History
Chile is one of the few countries that has participated in Miss Universe since 1952, has sent 53 representatives in the pageant's 65-year history and placed 13 times in the Semi-Finals, with one Miss Universe crown: Cecilia Bolocco, in 1987.
Integral beauty, intelligence, and poise are taken into consideration to select Chile's titleholder from a group of delegates who represent the city they come from. It is said that the winner is the most beautiful woman of Chile, which gives her the right to represent her country for one year and participate in the Miss Universe international competition.
Luciano Marocchino had the Chilean franchise for Miss Universe since 2004, but did not send a delegate on 2007-2010 period. In 2011, Chile returned to the competition with Vanessa Ceruti, Miss Universo Chile 2011.
Marocchino's organization received many negative critics, due to the less preparation given to the winners. He gave up the contest in 2015.
The national broadcaster, Chilevisión held the contest from 2016 up to 2018.
In 2019 Keno Manzur took over the Miss Universe franchise in Chile as National Director.
The current titleholder is Daniela Nicolás, she will represent her country in Miss Universe 2020 on a date to be announced.
