The current Miss Nicaragua is Allison Wassmer of Managua, who was crowned on August 14, 2021 at the Holiday Inn Hotel and convention center Managua in Managua, Nicaragua.
Participants
Participants for the Miss Nicaragua contest must be between 18 and 28 years old, not married, and have no children. After participants are chosen, 16 candidates are elected and represent their region. The majority of Miss Nicaragua winners have been from Managua.
Some years, the pageant has had a theme; for 2006, it was "León, pasado maravilloso... presente esperanzador... futuro luminoso" meaning "León, wonderful past... hopeful present.. luminous future".[1]
Despite only having four Miss Universe semi-finalists to date, Nicaragua has done well in other international beauty pageants.
