# Reina Hispanoamericana

Reina Hispanoamericana (Hispanic American Queen) is an annual beauty pageant that celebrates Hispanic heritage, language, and culture. It was established in 1991 as Reina Sudamericana (South American Queen) and is headquartered in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.
Organized by Promociones Gloria, the pageant has expanded over the years and now features around 35 contestants from countries with Hispanic influence, reflecting its growing international reach. The pageant initially featured only South American participants but has since expanded to include contestants from Central America, the Caribbean, North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
The pageant celebrates Hispanic heritage, language, and culture, with regular participation from countries like Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Spain. Recent additions, such as Indonesia (2023) and Guyana (2024), highlight its growing global reach.
The current titleholder, Reina Hispanoamericana 2025, is Dia Maté from the Philippines, who was crowned on 9 February 2025 in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

## History

Reina Hispanoamericana, originally known as Reina Sudamericana (South American Queen), was established in 1991 and is headquartered in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Initially, the competition was limited to contestants from the ten South American nations.
In 2004, the pageant expanded to include participants from Panama and Costa Rica in Central America. By 2006, it further welcomed contestants from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Portugal, and Spain.
The year 2007 marked a significant milestone when the competition opened its doors to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and the United States, prompting a name change to Reina Hispanoamericana to reflect its broader reach.
In 2008, Curaçao and Haiti joined the competition, followed by the Philippines, Canada, and Australia in 2017. Indonesia was invited as a special guest in 2023, and in 2024, the pageant further expanded its global presence by welcoming contestants from Guyana and Poland.
