May our future generations continue to educate themselves and inspire others".

The ideal goals of the contest are to highlight the values ​​of Latin American women throughout the world through by emphasizing their developing efforts to attain higher education as well through charitable actions within their community. The pageant includes all single women of Latino or Hispanic heritage between the ages of 18 - 27. Although registrations to qualify are now closed, next year calls for more Canadian cities to be included giving the opportunity to other Latinas who were not able to make it this year.
