ORGANIZACION MISS AMERICA LATINA has celebrated the rich cultural heritage of Latin women worldwide for 40 years. Widely recognized as the pioneer of Latin/Hispanic pageantry in the U.S., the organization produces the MISS U.S. LATINA and MISS TEEN U.S. LATINA national pageants, as well as the international MISS LATIN AMERICA OF THE WORLD pageant. 

The first and longest-running national pageant system for Latinas in the United States, MISS U.S. LATINA was founded in 1983 to recognize the outstanding Latin women of the U.S. and as a celebration of their beauty and culture. The competitions empower women of Latin and Hispanic ancestry, providing personal and professional opportunities, and contributing to tourism and goodwill around the world.
