Señorita Panamá

Señorita Panamá or Miss Panamá is the common name or sash used to identify a Panamanian representative in an international pageant. Concurso de Nacional de la Belleza Miss Panamá selects four winners to represent Panama to Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Earth, and Miss International. The first national pageant was Miss Panamá held from 1982 to 1987. In 1982, Señorita Panamá was created as an alternative to send its winners to the Miss World contest in London. These pageants, along with smaller pageants such as Miss International Panamá and Miss World Panamá celebrated to select delegates for international representations.

After 28 years, the Señorita Panamá pageant, organized by Medcom Corporation, was discontinued. A new organization took over in 2011 with the official name of the contest being "Miss Panama" (not to be confused with Señorita Panamá or Bellezas Panamá).
