Showcasing talented young Latinas from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, the competition will be the most rigorous ever as three of the 30 contestants who have survived the audition process have already been crowned beauty queens in their native countries. Also for the first time ever, contestants will be split into three teams led by celebrity judges Osmel Sousa, Lupita Jones and Julián Gil, and will travel to Mexico, Puerto Rico and Canada for all new grueling international challenges.

Additionally, Cosmopolitan en Español will feature the winner in one of its covers. Once again, their ultimate fate, and the winner, will be decided by the viewing public.
