# Miss República Portuguesa

Miss República Portuguesa is a national Beauty pageant in Portugal. The main winner of the contest is sent to Miss World.

## History

Miss República Portuguesa was made in 2011 by Isidro de Brito as Miss Mundo Portuguesa. In 2014, after undergoing a major restructuring process, the organization separated the two national pageants into separate events: "Miss Universo Portugal" and "Miss World Portugal".

### Miss Universo Portugal

* Before Miss República Portuguesa, the traditional pageant Miss Portugal was held in 1960 for the first time. The pageant used to send representatives for Portugal to the Miss World, Miss Universe and Miss International pageants. In 2011 the Miss Universo Portugal was held for the first time by GAETA, Promoções e Eventos, Lda. and NIU, the franchise holder of Miss Universe in Portugal.
* In 2014 the Miss Universo Portugal branding was independently acquired by Isidiro de Brito under Miss República Portuguesa. The contest was separated by the organizers. He also owned Miss Supranational, Miss Grand International, Miss Intercontinental and other pageants to Miss República Portuguesa titleholders.
* In 2016 Edward Walson partnered to Miss Universo Portugal. He is the owner of the Miss Universo Italia pageant.
* In 2018 Isidiro de Brito owned major pageants and the Miss República Portuguesa Organization franchised Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and other pageants to Miss Portuguesa titleholders.

## Titleholders

The organization was previously called "Miss Mundo Portugal" and the winner represented Portugal at the Miss World pageant. Since 2014 the new setting called "Miss República Portuguesa" or "Miss Portuguesa" will select the winner to Miss World and runner-ups will have the opportunity to represent Portugal at other pageants such as Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Supranational, and Miss Grand International.
