Pageant rules
Colombia has highly strict rules regarding participation of any Miss Universe preliminary: once a contestant registers for the pageant, she is confined to her own Department and cannot move or relocate to other states/provinces.
However, she can participate more than once for the same department. As example, the winner of 2003 had already come in fourth place at the Miss Valle pageant the year before she won and eventually went on to win the national title and crown.
List of Titleholders
Laura González, Señorita Colombia 2017, 1st runner-up at Miss Universe 2017.
Andrea Tovar, Señorita Colombia 2015, 2nd runner-up at Miss Universe 2016.
Ariadna Gutiérrez, Señorita Colombia 2014, 1st runner-up at Miss Universe 2015.
Paulina Vega, Señorita Colombia 2013, winner of Miss Universe 2014.
Taliana Vargas, Señorita Colombia 2007, 1st runner-up at Miss Universe 2008.
Valerie Domínguez, Señorita Colombia 2005, Top 10 at Miss Universe 2006.
Initially, the pageant's winners held the title for a biennial period; Yolanda Emiliani Roman, Miss Colombia 1934, held her title for the longest reign in the pageant's history. The winner of Senorita Colombia represents her country at Miss Universe. On occasion, when the winner does not qualify (due to age) for either contest, a runner-up is sent.

Controversies
David Letterman on Miss Colombia
In May 2001, David Letterman joked about the 'special talent' which the then-reigning Miss Colombia Andrea Noceti possessed – that she was able to "swallow 50 balloons full of heroin" for the (non-existent) talent competition in the Miss Universe 2001 pageant. The remark not only infuriated the beauty queen, but also the people in Colombia.[6]
Miss Colombia openly threatened to sue Letterman but later withdrawn the statement after Letterman formally apologised to her in the Late Show with David Letterman about the quip made. Letterman had invited the beauty queen to appear on his show as a gesture of appeasement.[7]
Sponsors
Some of the Miss Colombia Beauty Contest include jewelries like Joyeria Casareo and André Laurent Joyeria, media companies like RCN TV and Cromos Magazine and beauty companies like Jolie de Vogue and Leonisa. [8]
