### 2001-2015: Sambil Model and Miss Venezuela

Miss Earth Venezuela title was first given by Sambil Model Organization. Sambil Model produced titleholders like Alexandra Braun and Jessica Barboza. From 2010 to 2015 Miss Earth Venezuela was chosen by the beauty czar Osmel Sousa. In 2010, Miss Venezuela Organization acquired the franchise for Miss Earth Venezuela and the organization declared that Miss Earth, along with Miss Universe and Miss World contests, is one of the three largest beauty pageants in the world in terms of the number of participating countries. The organization conducted a selection process which attended by several former beauty queens and runners up to qualify for participation. Mariángela Bonanni who competed in the Miss Venezuela 2009 (placed as first runner up) representing the state of Táchira, was chosen by the organization to participate in Miss Earth 2010 and she placed in Top 7.

### 2016 - present: Organizacion Miss Earth Venezuela and Globovision

She represented Venezuela at Miss Earth 2016 pageant held in Manila, Philippines where she became an instant sensation and generated an instant large number of followers. Stephanie easily got numerous supporters in the Philippines not only in her home country including the Latin community in Western Hemisphere. She competed with 82 other delegates from around the world. During the pre-pageant events, Stephanie was able to get a silver medal during the press presentation as part of the "Darling of the Press" award.
At 2017 to 2018, Venezuela managed to snatch one of the Top 8 slots during the Miss Earth pageant finals which was both held in the Philippines. However, in 2019, Venezuela failed to place for the first time after its 14-year-long streak of placements.
