Miss Nicaragua 2016: Meet the candidates

Who among these ladies will represent Nicaragua in Miss Universe? The national pageant will be held on March 5, 2016 at the Rubén Darío National Theater. Daniela Torres from Managua will crown her successor at the end of the event.

The pageant has been held since 1955 and is responsible for selecting the country's representatives to Miss Universe and Miss International (amongst others). The winner goes to Miss Universe and the 1st runner-up to Miss International.

Despite only having had only three Miss Universe Semifinalists to date; Nicaragua has done well in other international beauty pageants.
