The Miss Dominican Republic (Spanish: Miss RepĂșblica Dominicana) is: a national beauty pageant in the: Dominican Republic.
History
Miss Dominican Republic Organization has been in operation since 1927. In 1956, theââpageant was officially restarted after crowning models from 1952 until 1955. In 1956, Olga Fiallo from Santiago won, making the Dominican Republic's first representativeââto Miss Universe. In 1966, "the Concurso Nacional de Belleza Dominicana lost its Miss Universe rights for only one year." But on that same year it gained their Miss World franchise sending the "winner of that year," Jeanette Dotel from San Juan as their first representative. In 1967, the organization officially decided that the Winner would goââto Miss Universe, "First Runner-up would enter Miss World." And Second Runner-up to a Festival of Latin Beauties in South America. The MRD organization had acquired the Miss International rights. But the organization would only send a representative if the budget allowed them. It wasn't until 1980, when they decided that the Second Runner-up would enter either in Miss International, Reinado Nacional del CafĂ©/Miss AmĂ©rica Latina. In 1989 until 2000, the official Second Runner-up would enter Miss International, the Third Runner-up would enter Reinado Nacional del CafĂ© and the Fourth Runner-up would enter Miss AmĂ©rica Latina. This has been the same until 2003 when the organization separated into two separate organizations.
Miss RepĂșblica Dominicana Universo Organization
The Miss RepĂșblica Dominicana Universo Organization was created in 2003 by, Belkys Reyes. And was taken over by Magali Febles in 2004. Since 2003, the representatives of Dominican Republic for one out of the four major international pageants have been selected by this organization. This organization is in charge of sending representatives to Miss Universe. Miss RepĂșblica Dominicana Universo competes in Miss Universe. Also, this organization has 15 franchises in other international competitions and sends representatives to these competitions every year such as Reina Hispanoamericana and Miss Continentes Unidos.
Reina Nacional de Belleza Dominicana Organization
The organization of Reina Nacional de Belleza Dominicana was created in 2003 by Diany Mota, and is still run by her today. Since 2003, the representatives of Dominican Republic for three out of the four major international pageants have been selected by this organization, until in 2015 when they lost the Miss Earth franchise. This organization is in charge of sending representatives to Miss World and Miss International.
