History

1928—1937

The Miss Argentina beauty contest was established in 1928 by El Hogar Magazine in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires. The first winner was Túlia Ciámpoli of Cordoba. The pageant was attended by the President of Argentina, Marcelo T. de Alvear, and his wife Regina Pacini.[1] The 1929 competition was organized by Caras y Caretas, a weekly magazine, and was won by Nelida Rodriguez Aragon.

In 1930, Critical magazine took over the event. In the same year, the winner of Miss Argentina (Celia Basavilbaso of Chaco) competed for the title of Miss Universe, in the International Pageant of Pulchritude, for the first time. In 1932, the News Carts Newspaper Corporation began organizing Miss Argentina and that year's winner, Ana Rover, competed in the penultimate International Pageant of Pulchritude, which was held in Belgium.
