# Mexicana Universal Zacatecas

Mexicana Universal Zacatecas is a pageant in Zacatecas, Mexico, that selects that state's representative for the national Mexicana Universal pageant.
It is a platform with a beauty contest format in charge of empowering women and young people within the state, giving them the necessary tools to develop in the middle of entertainment and modeling.
Led by different professionals in the world of beauty contests in Zacatecas.
The state organization hasn't had a national winner in Nuestra Belleza México. In 2009 a beauty queen has been dethroned, Verónica Llamas for posing topless in a magazine for men, so breaking a clause in the contract of Nuestra Belleza México, she also lost the right to represent Mexico in Miss Continente Americano 2010.
