Miss Earth Venezuela is an annual beauty pageant in Venezuela. The winner of Miss Earth Venezuela obtains the right to represent the country in the Miss Earth pageant, an annual international major beauty pageant that advocates for environmental awareness, conservation, and social responsibility.[1] [2] [3]
The current Miss Earth Venezuela is Karleys Rojas of La Guaira who was crowned on November 18, 2023 at the Poliedro de Caracas in Caracas, Venezuela. She will represent Venezuela at Miss Earth 2024 in Vietnam.[4]
Miss Earth Venezuela title was first given by Sambil Model Organization. Sambil Model produced titleholders like Alexandra Braun and Jessica Barboza. From 2010 to 2015 Miss Earth Venezuela was chosen by the beauty czar Osmel Sousa. In 2010, Miss Venezuela Organization acquired the franchise for Miss Earth Venezuela and the organization declared that Miss Earth, along with Miss Universe and Miss World contests, is one of the three largest beauty pageants in the world in terms of the number of participating countries.[5] The organization conducted a selection process which attended by several former beauty queens and runners up to qualify for participation. Mariángela Bonanni who competed in the Miss Venezuela 2009 (placed as first runner up) representing the state of Táchira, was chosen by the organization to participate in Miss Earth 2010 and she placed in Top 7.
Miss Earth Venezuela, based in Caracas, is organized by Miss Earth Venezuela National Directors Julio César Cruz and Alyz Henrich. The pageant was established to elect Venezuela's representative in the annual Miss Earth and to promote environmental awareness and protection of the earth.
Stephanie de Zorzi was appointed Miss Earth Venezuela 2016 in a small ceremony where she was crowned the second time by Alyz Henrich for the new Miss Earth Venezuela Organization. She represented Venezuela at Miss Earth 2016 pageant held in Manila, Philippines where she became an instant sensation and generated an instant large number of followers. Stephanie easily got numerous supporters in the Philippines not only in her home country including the Latin community in Western Hemisphere.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] She competed with 82 other delegates from around the world. During the pre-pageant events, Stephanie was able to get a silver medal during the press presentation as part of the "Darling of the Press" award.[11] [12] [13]
At 2017 to 2018, Venezuela managed to snatch one of the Top 8 slots during the Miss Earth pageant finals which was both held in the Philippines. However, in 2019, Venezuela failed to place for the first time after its 14-year-long streak of placements.
In 2020, Miss Earth Venezuela Organization, appointed Miss Earth Venezuela - Fire 2019 Stephany Zreik as Miss Earth Venezuela 2020. This was followed after Miss Earth Organization disclosed publicly that the pageant would hold a virtual pageant, as a response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the Miss Earth 2020 pageant, Stephany Zreik got the Miss Earth - Air title, making history as the said country can now complete all the elemental titles offered by the Miss Earth pageant.
