Miss República Dominicana Formation 1927; 99 years ago (1927) Type Beauty pageant Headquarters Santo Domingo Location Dominican Republic Members Miss Universe Miss World Miss International Miss Earth Miss Supranational Official language Spanish Leader Magali Febles Website missrdu.com

**Miss Dominican Republic** ([Spanish](/source/Spanish_language): *Miss República Dominicana*) is an annual national beauty pageant that selects the Dominican Republic's official representative to [Miss Universe](/source/Miss_Universe)—one of the [Big Four International beauty pageants](/source/Big_Four_beauty_pageants).

## History

[Amelia Vega](/source/Amelia_Vega), Miss Universe 2003 winner.

Miss Dominican Republic Organization has been in operation since 1927. In 1956, the pageant was officially restarted after crowning models from 1952 until 1955. In 1956, Olga Fiallo from [Santiago](/source/Santiago_Province_(Dominican_Republic)) won, making the Dominican Republic's first representative to 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](/source/San_Juan_Province_(Dominican_Republic)) as their first representative. In 1967, the organization officially decided that the Winner would go to 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 Café or Miss América Latina. In 1989 until 2000, the official Second Runner-up would enter Miss International, the Third Runner-up would enter Reinado Nacional del Café and the Fourth Runner-up would enter Miss América Latina. This has been the same until 2003 when the organization separated into two separate organizations.

### Miss República Dominicana Universo Organization

The Miss República Dominicana Universo Organization was created in 2003 by Belkys Reyes, and was taken over by [Magali Febles](/source/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](/source/Miss_Universe). Miss República Dominicana Universo competes in [Miss Universe](/source/Miss_Universe). Also, this organization has 15 franchises in other international competitions and sends representatives to these competitions every year such as [Reina Hispanoamericana](/source/Reina_Hispanoamericana) and Miss Continentes Unidos.[1][*[non-primary source needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources)*]

### 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](/source/Miss_Earth) franchise. This organization is in charge of sending representatives to [Miss World](/source/Miss_World) and [Miss International](/source/Miss_International). Miss Mundo Dominicana competes in [Miss World](/source/Miss_World) and Miss Internacional Dominicana competes in [Miss International](/source/Miss_International).

### Provincial Pageants

In 2009, there has been a huge involvement of the organization in regional pageants. There is right now 6 regional pageants.[2]
