The Señorita Panamá is a national beauty pageant in Panama. As of the 2024 edition, Señorita Panamá winners represent Panamá in Miss Universe and Miss International. [2] The Miss Panama brand started in 1952, when the Panamanian Institute of Tourism received an invitation from Miss Universe to send a representative. In 1975, the Señorita Panamá name was used for the first time, reverting to Miss Panama in 1976. In 1982, Señorita Panamá was created by RPC Channel 4 as an alternative to send its winners to the Miss World contest in London. These pageants, along with smaller pageants such as Miss International Panamá and Miss World Panamá celebrated to select delegates for international representations.
History
The National Beauty Pageant was known as "Miss Panama" until 1975, when organizers decided to use "Señorita Panamá", a brand that lasted only one year. Then, in 1982, "Señorita Panamá" was created as a rival of "Miss Panama" which sent its winners to Miss Universe. The "Miss Panama" competition was then discontinued in 1988.
After 28 years, the Señorita Panamá pageant, organized by Medcom Corporation, was discontinued. A new organization took over in 2011 rebranding the competition as "Miss Panama", a name that had not been in use since 1987. (not to be confused with Señorita Panamá or Bellezas Panamá).
After five years of the Miss Panama pageant under the direction of Marisela Moreno, Medcom Corporation lost the franchise of Miss Universe in 2016, and the opportunity to select the candidate for this contest.[3] César Anel Rodríguez and Justine Pasek[citation needed] acquire the rights of the title Señorita Panamá pageant and select the candidate who represent the country in Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Supranational and Miss Grand International.[4] Justine Pasek left the organization in December 2017 to focus on family. In 2022 Rodriguez lost the franchise of Miss Universe and re-acquired in 2024.
From 2022 to 2023 a new organization took over the organization rebranding the competition as "Miss Panama" again selecting the candidate to represent Panama en Miss Universe under the direction of Ricardo Canto.

Panama has been represented in various international pageants, including the biggest names, such as Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International.[5]
The country has won two major international titles: Miss International 1998 and Miss Universe 2002. Lía Victoria Borrero González won the Miss International 1998[6] while Justine Pasek, who represented Panama in Miss Universe 2002, won by default when she replaced the dethroned winner Oxana Fedorova of Russia.[7]

The country's highest placement in Miss Earth was achieved by Stefanie de Roux who finished as top eight finalist in the Miss Earth 2006
From 2011 to 2015, the Miss Universe Panamá and Miss World Panamá were selected by Miss Panamá[8] while Miss Earth Panamá and Miss Internacional Panamá were selected in the Bellezas Panamá pageant organized by Tania Hyman's Models and Talents.[9] However, in 2012, the four titles (Miss Panama Universe, Miss Panama World, Miss Panama Earth, and Miss Panama International) were selected by one organization called, ORGANIZACIÓN MISS PANAMA.[10] This year Miss Panama had two presidents Marisela Moreno and Tania Hyman.
