History
The Miss El Salvador was the organization in charge of choosing the representative to Miss Universe. The organization since its birth sent a representative to Miss Universe (except in 1980) and Miss World (from 1975 to 1993, when the organization lost the franchise.) The organization was headed by Mr. Eddie Gonzalez, who was the committed to put El Salvador at the international mark. The format of the competition was based on a representative from each of the 14 departments in the country. During the 1980s due to the Salvadorian Civil War situation, thanks to the special permission granted by The Miss Universe Organization, the representative was chosen behind closed doors. This continued till 1995 when they resumed the national competition.
Nuestra Belleza El Salvador 2004–2019
After Miss El Salvador stopped to produce the pageant, in 2004, Telecorporacion Salvadorena acquired the franchise for Miss World, and in 2006 acquired the franchise for Miss Universe. The pageant was renamed Nuestra Belleza El Salvador and held two separate pageants to select the delegates to Miss Universe and Miss World. In 2010, the format changed as in that year they decided to select the two representatives in just one pageant. The pageant is open to any girls throughout the whole country. They choose the finalists via casting specials and the contestants are not required to have won a department title, which was the traditional way until 2005. The license for Miss Universe was given to the organization Reinado de El Salvador in March 2017 and the Miss World licensee in November 2018.
Reinado de El Salvador 2007–2022
Started in 2007 there was Reinado de El Salvador who acquired major franchises in El Salvador for women and men. The Reinado El Salvador Organization aims to be a platform to promote tourism, culture, and tradition of El Salvador. In the beginning the org. took Miss International and Miss Earth competitions to the main winners. Began 2017 the license of Miss Universe moved to Reinado de El Salvador after Nuestra Belleza El Salvador gave up for the franchise. In 2018 Reinado de El Salvador continued to reach out the license of Miss World. Started in 2023 the org. retook the brand of Miss El Salvador pageant, and prepared the winner to Miss Universe 2023 in El Salvador.
