History

20th century

Miss Teen Ecuador emerged as a preliminary event to select the representative of Ecuador in the International Teen Princess competition in 1966.

In 1974, Zoila Villagran Salazar of Manabí was crowned as the first Miss Teenage and represented at Miss Teenage Intercontinental.

In 1975, Yela Denise Klein moved on to the top 8 of Miss Teenage Intercontinental held in the Grand Salon, Americana Hotel, in Oranjestad, Aruba. [5]

In 1981, Gisella Puertas Del Barco competed in the last edition of Miss Teen Intercontinental held at the Aparta Hotel Golf in Barranquilla, Colombia.

The Miss Teen Intercontinental contest based in Aruba directed only teens were allowed to compete [6] was renamed Miss Intercontinental in 1982. [7]

The contest under the direction of Cesar Montece [8] changed officially its name to Miss Teen Ecuador in 1990. Alicia Álvarez representing Guayas became the first Miss Teen Ecuador winner in Guayaquil City, Ecuador. C. J. Arosemena Monroy, a former President of the Republic of Ecuador was present during the pageant coronation night.[9]

21st century

Cesar Montece died in 2010,[10] and his sister, Rosa, succeeded as chairwoman of the Queen of Ecuador company.

In 2012, the Queen of Ecuador Inc. company sold all the rights of the contest to Rodrigo Moreira.[11]

The Miss Teen Ecuador pageant celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Teatro Centro de Arte on April 18, 2015.
