History

Chile has sent 41 representatives, has had three Miss World Semi-Finalists and One Quarter-Finalist. In 1998, Daniella Campos won the title of Queen of the Americas and in 2011 Gabriela Pulgar won the Talent Competition.

The first Miss World Chile was selected from a small group of contestants by an Argentinian company that had the franchise for five South American countries.

During the early 1980s and to the late 1990s, Channel 13 transmitted Miss Mundo Chile Semi-Finals and Finals.

From 2011 to 2013, the Chilean representative was selected under the Miss Chile organization. During the last two years of the organization, the Chilean representative has been selected through reality show No Basta con Ser Bella and Proyecto Miss Chile, transmitted by Channel 13 in conjunction with the president of Miss Chile – in that time – Carla Marin.

In 2014, Miss Chile was dissolved, leaving the country without a representative to the International Contest. In 2015 Chile will send a representative, this time under the franchise Miss Mundo Chile organized by Ricardo Güiraldes and Eugenio Manzur.

The current titleholder is Ámbar Zenteno, from Las Condes, who will participate at the Miss World 2023 pageant on 2 March 2024 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, India
