# Miss Perú 2019

Following the dethronements (please read below for further info) of Anyella Grados and Tiffany Yoko Chong; the president of the Miss Peru Organization, Jessica Newton decided to organize a special edition of the Miss Peru 2019 pageant. The new format consisted of ten former contestants that had previous pageant experience whether at international or national level to compete for the national crown and to represent the country in other selected pageants.
This edition was held on the night of October 20, 2019, at the Maracaná Event Center in Jesús María, Lima, Peru after weeks of events. The theme of the contest consisted of a platform opposing violence against women, which is an ongoing social threat that keeps harming the Peruvian society, as well as the rest of Latin America.
Due to commitments with a different broadcaster, outgoing titleholder Romina Lozano was not there to crown her successor.
As head of the organization and on behalf of the judges panel that included her, Newton crowned Kelin Rivera of Arequipa as the new Miss Peru at the end of the event.

## Initial MP 2019 Pageant | Controversies, Scandal and Dethronements

What was supposed to be the original Miss Peru 2019 pageant was held on the night of October 21, 2018. This contest was held in the historic centre's Municipal Theatre in Lima, Peru after weeks of events.
The outgoing titleholder, Romina Lozano of Callao crowned Anyella Grados of La Libertad at the end of the event.
The pageant was broadcast by Latina Television and again hosted by presenter Cristian Rivero with the outside commenting of Miss Peru 2009, Karen Schwarz.
This election became a platform searching breast cancer prevention for women in Peru: when the 50 candidates took the floor to specify their measurements, each one announced an statistics and advice at the same time they exposure their shave heads in manner to respect of patients suffering of the illness.
The final results of this first pageant were heavily criticized by Peruvians, media, and pageant fans as this edition of the event featured to be very questionable. Grados was never categorized as a favorite to win the title and she did not excel throughout the crowning night in any of the cuts (Swimsuit, Evening Gown, and Final Answer) where she was overshadowed by many other contestants. In fact, she delivered an erroneous answer about the country's current political situation in the topic of corruption. Escribens, the 1st Runner-Up, has been also in the eye of the storm as she does not speak Spanish fluently and still has obvious trouble with the country's national language, which questioned her progress during the final answers portion. It was unknown whether other finalists will want to represent Peru at the international level with the many discrepancies seen within the organization.
Months following this debacle, in March 2019, Grados and 2nd Runner-Up, Tiffany Yoko Chong were dethroned and stripped of their titles due to inappropriate behavior following a trip sponsored by the organization. These events were heavily criticized by the media and Peruvian citizens, among international community among pageantry experts and fans in regards to unacceptable incidents involving two representatives of the country. Despite 1st Runner-Up Escribens' attendance to this trip as well, she was not involved in the incidents and was forgiven to keep her title of Miss Grand Peru but not to inherit the national crown as rules stipulated. A new contest was to be announced to erase the happenings that tarnished these first event which already had not popular results.
