Venezuela is recognized for having women who stand out in the international beauty contests and have won the Miss Universe crown seven times since 1952, the date on which it began the contest. Unfortunately, this could be the first year they do not send a candidate.

It could be resolved at the last moment
Despite this situation of uncertainty, the beautiful girl is still preparing very hard, hoping that it will reach the sum as it did in 2003, when Mariangel Ruiz almost did not participate for the same reason, but finally could cover the expenses in The last moment, just a week before the final.
There is one exception for not paying the annuity: when the candidate of a country wins the crown, the following year does not have to pay. In the last eight years, Venezuela has won the editions of 2008, 2009 and 2013, saving the negligible sum of 300 thousand dollars.
